OpenAI's new $100 tier targets developers hitting Codex limits
- nialse 7mo agoManufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem. The 2x allowance last month was not of the goodness of their hearts. It’s pumping up the demand AND the revenue simultaneously. The squeeze before an IPO. How many of us have looked into moving to the next tier during the last 48 hours? I know I have both professionally and for my private use. Moving 20% of $20 customers to $100 increases the revenue for the group with 1.8x.
- gruez 7mo ago>Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem. This only makes sense if openai was cutting the quotas to below the original amount, which so far as I can tell hasn't happened. Otherwise it's just a cynical take where any sort of promotion can be cynically interpreted as "Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem".
- nothinkjustai 7mo agoI pulled the trigger on a GLM subscription, 5.1 is pretty close to SOTA and as a side benefit you aren’t financially supporting these evil companies.
- pcf 7mo agoWhat do you think is the percentage of your payment to Z.AI that goes to the Chinese state (which can be termed as "evil" in many ways)?
- moralestapia 7mo agoTheir models also "became" quite chatty in recent weeks. Now you spend 2x tokens to achieve the same result because of that. Sure, you can tell it to "be succinct" or whatever, but the vast majority of people won't so this definitely increased token consumption overall.
- esperent 7mo agoI would agree except that I'm already on the top tier, and there is no next tier. So what I spent yesterday doing when I hit my session limit - within an hour and a half while working on a single feature - was setting up pi.dev and porting over all my skills and hooks. I've cancelled my account and when it's finished in a few days I'm done with Claude. Sure, Opus has a slight edge (which might just be familiarity) but it's already clear that pi with Gemini 3.1 pro or codex 5.3 is pretty much close.
- nialse 7mo agoThis pushed me to try pi.dev with a remote ollama instance running gemma4:26b on a 24GB RTX 3090. It is not perfect, but it's quite okay-ish with 128k context length. It's not a model primarily for coding I guess, but IIWIW. Thanks!
- denimnerd42 7mo agoWhen I sit down and dial in on a serious project at work I easily spend $500-1000+ day of API usage. At home I just hit the limit and give up / cancel my sub. Wish I could just go all out one weekend a month. I hardly code outside of work but sometimes there’s a project I have an itch for.
- daymanstep 7mo agoWhy don't you just buy API tokens instead of using subscription
- denimnerd42 7mo agoThat’s what Im considering.
- thejazzman 7mo agohttps://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage I'm at $6.2k over the last 30 days from my $200 codex subscription
- esperent 7mo agoPeople will keep pointing out that it means the $200 subscription is good value, but to me it just means the Claude API is wildly overpriced.
- chipsrafferty 7mo agoYou could try writing the code yourself
- sidrag22 7mo agoI know some people still underestimate these tools, but this is pretty adjacent to telling someone with a 20mile commute to just walk everyday instead.

- abstractspoon 7mo agoOnce enough people have lost the ability to write their own code, they will be fully at the mercy of the price setters. One thing I love about coding as a hobby is that it costs me nothing.
