How aggressively can you use it?
Would love to hear from people who have actually purchased and used the two.

Pro user here. I canceled my membership, but it's not going to matter that much since I pay yearly. No pushback is going to solve this. They have defense contracts pending. We're cooked. I'm gonna test out GPT with Aider.

After using the service for 3 days, I hit the weekly limit, which means I cannot use it for the remaining 4 days of the week. Even if I use 2 sessions per day continuously for 3 days, I can only activate about 6 sessions in total. And, If I use each session intensively, I reach the session limit within about an hour. In conclusion, I cannot use the service for 4 days out of the week, and it ends after roughly 6 hours of total usage over 3 days. Paying for a monthly subscription plan just to use the service for 3 days a month — which is equivalent to about 24 hours or 3 working days per month — simply doesn’t make sense. Furthermore, so this one-sided limitation has made it effectively impossible to use the service.
