OpenAI Hands Out Near-Daily Usage Resets, $100-Tier Users Question the Strategy

Haider (72K followers) calls out OpenAI's apparent strategy of handing out free usage resets almost daily to keep users around, quoting OpenAI VP of Engineering Thibault Sottiaux's "Day 21... but today is a reset" post.
He notes the resets barely help $100/month subscribers like himself, since they keep arriving while 40–50% of his weekly quota remains — hinting at OpenAI's delicate balance between compute constraints and user retention.
