What feature would you like to see?

Model 5.3 was perfect, models 5.4 and 5.5 are more expensive AND not as good. I will probably leave the service if this does not change

Thanks for the feedback, but we don't have plans to bring back this model. If you need to access this model, it's still available through the API for now.

So I don't plan to renew my Pro subscription.
