Same here, which is a real shame. I've switched to DeepResearch with Gemini 2.5 Pro over the last few days where paid users have a 20/day limit instead of 10/month and it's been great, especially since now Gemini seems to browse 10x more pages than OpenAI Deep Research (on the order of 200-400 pages versus 20-40).
The reports are too verbose but having it research random development ideas, or how to do something particularly complex with a specific library, or different approaches or architectures to a problem has been very productive without sliding into vibe coding territory.

- behnamoh 2y agoI've only ever had to use DeepResearch for academic literature review. What do you guys use it for which hits your quotas so quickly?

- jml78 2y agoI use it for mundane shit that I don’t want to spend hours doing. My son and I go to a lot of concerts and collect patches. Unfortunately we started collecting long after we started going to concerts. I had a list of about 30 bands I wanted patches for. I was able to give precise instructions on what I wanted. Deep research came back with direct links for every patch I wanted. It took me two minutes to write up the prompt and it did all the heavy lifting.
- qingcharles 2y agoWow, I wondered what the limit was. I never checked, but I've been using it hesitantly since I burn up OpenAI's limit as soon as it resets. Thanks for the clarity. I'm all-in on Deep Research. It can conduct research on niche historical topics that have no central articles in minutes, which typically were taking me days or weeks to delve into.
- namaria 2y agoI like Deep Research but as a historian I have to tell you. I've used it for history themes to calibrated my expectations and it is a nice tool but... It can easily brush over nuanced discussions and just return folk wisdom from blogs. What I love most about history is it has lots of irreducible complexity and poring over the literature, both primary and secondary sources, is often the only way to develop an understanding.
- tekacs 2y agoWhen I've wanted it to not do things like this, I've had good luck directing it to... not look at those sources. For example when I've wanted to understand an unfolding story better than the news, I've told it to ignore the media and go only to original sources (e.g. speech transcripts, material written by the people involved, etc.)
- namaria 2y agoDeep Search is pretty good for current news stories. I've had it analyze some legal developments in a European nation recently and it gave me a great overview.
- iamacyborg 2y agoThat use case seems pretty self defeating when a good news source will usually try to at least validate first-party materials which an llm cannot do.
- taurath 2y agoLLMs seem fantastic at generalizing broad thought and is not great at outliers. It sort of smooths over the knowledge curve confidently, which is a bit like in psychology where only CBT therapy is accepted, even if there are many much more highly effectual methodologies on individuals, just not at the population level.
