$200-plan user claims ChatGPT 'normal' speed is unusable, pushing users to burn 'fast' quota
CustomMerkins4u · reddit · 2026-10-27
A Reddit user complains that ChatGPT's "normal" mode has become effectively unusable, interpreting this as deliberately pushing subscribers onto "fast" mode that burns through the $200 plan's usage (soon $500). Constant resets are keeping it workable for now, but the user plans to switch to Claude or Kimi once those end.
The post signals frustration among paying power users over OpenAI's rate-limit and quota strategy.
