It’s only nearly unlimited if you haven’t just used a banked reset. After a banked reset your weekly usage gets cut by about 80% (not the week you need to wait to get your normal limits back though). ChatGPT has given me a really good reason to cancel.

Can you elaborate? I've been getting great usage out of my $200/mo plan, and thought I'd try a reset (first time) which was expiring just for giggles. Am I going to get only 20% of it effectively?

I overused Astra in order to drain my weekly, figuring I'd have the reset. (not wastefully, I did get more work done)

I can’t say what will happen to you, but yes, that has been my experience. It is better to wait for your normal full limit to return, because if you use a banked reset you get only 1/5th of the tokens but you still have to wait the full week afterwards for it to reset. 20% would be fine if it didn’t also reset the date your normal reset fires.

Banked resets do expire if you don't use them, so use them anyway.

Did you “earn” that reset on a lower tier?

Proof? Like, do you have logs or something? Not calling you a liar but this seems not correct based on my usage.
