I have the $200 plan for eight months now. I’m very happy using CC to get work done: I used to work a few hours non-stopped until it hit quota, I even encountered a few times that I had to wait more than one day for quota resetting. However, I didn’t have anything to complain bc it really got things done very quickly. Then starting from a few weeks ago, I noticed that CC became slacked and dragged feet, sometimes I had to wait more than 2 min until the agent started to respond; what’s even unbearable is that nowadays I can observe the coding speed is much slower, with a plan of a much smaller scale, it could take hours to get it done vs. in the old days one hour can get much more things done. So these days quite contrary to the experiences of most CC users, I never hit quota ceiling again, not because I didn’t work as hard as before, simply because the token consumption rate is much lower due to lower level of coding execution of the agent. CC may have evolved to use less token for the same task, but it’s less of my concern compared to the speed deterioration now, I would rather it uses the same token amount for the same task without lagging its execution. So I decided today to downgrade my plan to $100, at the same time I used the other $100 for codex, now I have both of them. So far, life is not getting better, codex is slow in execution as well, but at least I have two workers contributing now. If CC could maintain its coding speed while improving quality, I see no reason for this kind of splitting at all. Can’t believe the old good days have already been behind us! submitted by /u/Playful_Check_5306
