Reddit rant: Google and OpenAI quietly nerfing $20-tier quotas by 30-50%

A long Reddit rant details quota nerfs on both platforms: Google silently cuts quotas after each model drop, switches to opaque token-based metering, and now one 5-hour window eats 20-25% of weekly Flash quota (up from 15%) and 50% for Claude models (up from 40%); Agron inference speed has dropped and staff admitted infrastructure can't meet demand. The author argues both companies are quietly degrading $20-tier value while marketing 'upgrades'.
