What issue are you seeing?
Hitting 5 hour (and weekly) rate limits CRAZY fast. Basic tasks are resulting in complete usage for the entire 5 hour period - within like 10 minutes of usage. I realise the 2x rate limit has ended on 2nd April, but this is WAY, WAY more than just a 2x increase on the previous volume. I was expecting to notice a difference when the 2x limit ended, but I've swapped to medium reasoning rather than high, and I'm getting a fraction of what it was before. It feels like a free account. IT IS WORSE THAN CLAUDE
