I don't think these two are the same issues.

Full 5h usage on Plus has left 84% now.
however, 5h usage itself appears to be consumed (at least by Terra) at > 4x the usage previously, and with severely degraded outputs compared with at < 1 Aug to ~22-25 Aug. From ~22-25 Aug to now (26 Aug) Terra appears to have become largely unusable for some simple tasks
