Weekly limit constantly reset too early but only if it benefits OpenAI

There is a 5-hour and weekly usage limit. Sometimes I’d save my usage until the end of the week for a longer weekend session, but OpenAI just resets my usage several days before it is supposed to be reset, effectively taking away the availability of saved-up usage that I paid for. The following period is then several days longer, giving me less available usage per day. Even worse, when I run out of usage and have to purchase extra credits, my usage gets reset at the very last moment. So it’s really only resetting it if there might be a chance of me using a lot of it later during the week. If this is done to every customer, that’s basically a hidden price increase to make the company look more profitable even though it’s not.

This is just OpenAI being sneak
This really pisses me off. It's not a gesture of goodwill. Professionals have to work around the predictability of our subscriptions, and it absolutely is annoying as hell, especially when they change the cycle of the dates.
I particularly like having my cycle to be updated on a Sunday so that I start the week fresh. And now that it's midweek, it always introduces this anxiety that things are going to change midweek. It's just annoying and extremely rude and unprofessional by OpenAI.
Swings and roundabouts... I blew threw my weekly limit in 3 days and woke up this morning to aa full reset 😃
same story they give me 3 resets free and resettings thing early , I feel like plus subscription now better then pro 😂😂😂
Gen Z'ers complaining about getting free stuff... 🤦♂️
