  "textContent": "You first gave generous limits, then doubled them for 2 months (Feb 2 → Apr 2). People built workflows and projects around that capacity.\n\nNow you’re not just reverting — you’re cutting usage ~8x from what users were actively using.\n\nThis is not normalization. It’s a regression.\n\nImpact:\n\n  * breaks trust in platform stability\n\n  * discourages building on Codex\n\n  * signals that capabilities can be arbitrarily taken away\n\n\n\n\nThere is also no proper mid-tier ($50 / $100). The choice is: use far less or leave.\n\nMany will leave.\n\nThis is not just about limits — it’s about trust.\n\nCurrent pattern looks like: give a lot → create dependency → sharply restrict\n\nThat damages reputation and pushes users to alternatives.\n\nIf Codex is meant to be a serious dev platform:\n\n  * limits must be predictable\n\n  * pricing must match real usage tiers\n\n  * changes must be gradual\n\n\n\n\nRight now, this change does the opposite.",
