I recently paid for the $20/month plan, and while experimenting with Opus 4, I hit some usage limit. I thought switching to a different model would help, but I was completely mistaken. It turns out that hitting the limit means I can't access any models—Sonnet 4, Sonner 3.7, Opus 3, or even Haiku 3.5. Am I missing something here, or is this how it's designed?

It feels like they're really pushing users to upgrade to the max plan. I hit the limit after just five prompts! Honestly, this seems more like a marketing strategy to force users into paying more. It’s really disappointing, especially since $20 a month seems like it should provide more access.
It really sucks to hit that limit and then be locked out. I managed to get blocked after only sending one message with Claude 4 Opus. It's frustrating that they don't give clear warnings about the limits. I was on an annual plan too, and now I've got to wait hours before I can use anything again!
I've heard that this 'locked out' thing was just introduced recently. I think they really are trying to nudge users toward that max plan.
Same issue here—total BS! It seems like they actually want everyone to buy that max plan, which is super frustrating. The updates in the UI definitely feel like they're narrowing down access.
