OpenAI's $500 plan now offers less usage than its old $100 tier, users fume

Max Petrusenko criticizes OpenAI for repeatedly cutting rate limits — for months without any notice, and now with an announcement that halves the remaining limits. Users have flagged the silent reductions for about six months. He does the math: today's $500/month plan offers less usage than a $100 plan did just months ago, calling it a bait and switch on paying users and saying it's time to set up local AI.
