Paying for ChatGPT Plus Just to Be Locked Out While “5h Remaining” Still Shows Feels Misleading

The irony here is that you keep acting like people are “too stupid to understand limits,” while completely ignoring the actual point being discssed. We understand there are weekly limits. We understand there are 5h intensity limits. We understand compute costs money. You repeating the same thing 15 times does not suddenly address the criticism people are making about transparency and misleading presentation. If the UI says “5h remaining,” a normal paying customer will obviously assume they still have meaningful usable access remaining. That is basic human expectation, not “refusing to understand documentation.” You keep pointing at pricing pages and token systems as if every normal Plus subscriber is supposed to study OpenAI infrastructure economics before using a feature advertised inside ChatGPT Plus. Most people are judging the experience based on the actual product interface they are given — and right now that experience feels confusing and inconsistent for many users doing serious repository work. And honestly, the “millions of users understand it” argument is weak. Millions of users barely touch advanced Codex workflows at all. Heavy repository users are the ones stress-testing the system hard enough to expose where the UX breaks down. That feedback matters whether you personally like hearing it or not. Also, acting condescending toward paying users because they are frustrated with a product they actively WANT to use is such a weird attitude. People are upset precisely because the tool is genuinely useful and they want it to feel reliable instead of constantly running into invisible walls. And no, a temporary free reset does not magically erase the criticism either. Giving users extra credits for a day does not suddenly make the communication around limits clear. It just delays the exact same frustration until the reset runs out again. You keep framing criticism as “people wanting to fight,” but honestly the only aggressively hostile person in this thread has been you.
