Anecdata point - I’ve been running for around 3-4 hours this morning constantly using Haiku and it hasn’t hit the limit - currently at 74% and it resets in 1.5 hours. I think it’s safe to say you get a fair bit more usage over Sonnet. Still

It’s not just that I don’t really need the AI features - it’s also that I actively don’t want to participate in adding to Google’s AI training data. We’ve been happy customers of Workspace for around 16 years - this feels like the straw to
