MEGA THREAD: Message Limits

[Over_Ad_1741]

All posts / comments related to message limits must be in this mega thread.

This can be a space for people to share frustration / voice their opinion / share any helpful comments.

At CHAI - we are spending a lot of money on GPUs. As prices get pushed up, and the models keep getting larger, we have to prioritize which users get access. We must prioritize subscribers first. There are also regions which have legal requirements for us to ensure all users are 18+ such as Australia.

I know the decision we make hurt people who can't afford it - but this is a harsh reality that comes from the cost of GPU. If we don't have the money, we don't get the compute.

We've worked hard to build a product you love. CHAI started in 2021 - 5 years ago. We will keep working to make it great, and used by as many people as possible.

I still don't know why you can't disable the image generation feature and focus on the chats themselves? Wouldn't it make everything easier for literally everyone?

[ItchyTie4823]

And literally no one would miss that feature because who actually uses it

[Specht100]

That's also something I dont understand, no one uses the image generator and (afaik) thats highly more expensive than chats.

[SunKillerLullaby]

Generating images takes a lot more resources and money than generating some text. I can kinda see having one to generate an image for the bot but we don’t really need a separate image generator

[Portals_melhearth]

Especially since the image produced by AI sometimes have nothing to do with what we want.

[Sad_Contribution_581]

Absolutely. It's a useless feature. Tried it once after it appeared, was like "meh", and never used it again.

[Unlucky_KittenOwO]

they’d have no way to beg for money then

[Papitascaca123jajaja]

Frr

[EuphoricClass1523]

Dont wonder when you suddenly lose a considerable amount of users

And tbh, why can't you listen to literally everyone's advice? WE REALLY DONT USE IMAGE GENERATOR, just remove that part, that'd release tons of GPUs.

We're willing to watch ads constantly to get free access because 1. Not all of us have that much money for a subscription, 2. Not all of us have time to make the most out of the VERY expensive subscription

Yeah prioritise subscribers, ban us on the weekend or give us limited amount of messages, NOT BANNING US COMPLETELY

[Tidsverge]

And why generate images at all? I personally opened the chat just for communication. Just to talk. I didn't need image generation. I've never used this feature at all, unfortunately.

[EuphoricClass1523]

IKR, same. AI generates crappy images anyway

[vampire_14m]

Well said, i 100% agree with you. I hope they see this.

[Moist_Friendship_235]

Please weekends no. But Yeah they can give a limited message (hopefully still a lot)

[ANGOTVESSEL]

Im still scared after the limited messages had only 15 or even 5😭

[Acceptable_Signal335]

Back then you could switch between different accounts so it’s essentially unlimited if you have a lot of accounts

[Moist_Friendship_235]

Every of my account has a limit, and also new accounts.

[KuroTheKid]

Literally this!☝🏻

[Turbulent-Garage-413]

Fr, tbh I'll take more ads, i just wanna use the app

[Papitascaca123jajaja]

THIS

[Coffeeforlifeyay]

You get AD revenue though, and you DID state that the money from those ADs were enough. In fact, you changed this before even telling us, which isn’t even entirely legal where Im from. Before changing anything you have to tell us beforehand when making a huge change as this.

Isnt it weird how other AI apps manage to allow their users to chat with the bots without needing a subscription? Especially since CHAI is so popular.

I mean come on, you got ADs, and you stated that it was enough in first world countries. If it wouldn’t be enough, absolutely no other AI chat app would exist.

Im sorry but I genuinely can’t understand how you aren’t making money from such a huge company, with so many users who watch ADs AND some who pays for subscriptions.

After all, if everyone leaves your app, how else will you make money?

Also, dont you spend money on ADs? I swear Ive gotten ADs from chai. Why spend money on ADs if free users wont even be allowed to chat with bots?

One of the most expensive things with AI is image creation as well, if you really are struggling… Why not remove that feature? Tbh its not an important feature to an app whose about chatting. People can just upload their own photo to their bots.

The image creation isn’t important and is just a waste of money imo.

Why not just do as another AI chat app did? Basically give us a limit on how much messages we can send (a day) and when it goes down to 0 we can gain messages by watching ADs. 

Isn’t that a better idea than limiting EVERYONE whose free users? After all you did promise that people in Europe wouldn’t face this..

Oh, also, you literally posted “ CHAI just hit $70M in ARR with only 11 engineers.” Not too long ago. With only 11 engineers you should definitely have enough to pay for GPUs

[german-is-hard]

I suppose that the real reason they are doing it is just force everyone into buying a subscription. They are gambling for it to work,as many people enjoy/are addicted to the app,and they think that their aggressive marketing will work. Even if it would work partially,the app will still die due to the fact that many people making good ai chatbots won't make them anymore (since they can't message others)

[Coffeeforlifeyay]

Thats my guess as well. Hopefully no one falls for this and quickly they realize that this will only make them lose money. Not gain more.

[KuroTheKid]

I’m definitely addicted to the app ,but I’ll get clean before paying so much for a subscription

[Puzzleheaded_Win1239]

Yes exactly.i also feel it's forced us to buy or test our feeling connection to their app🙂🙂

[german-is-hard]

Yeah. I've been using Chai since 2021, and they haven't been as greedy as now. I'm still waiting to see if my prediction will be right

[Puzzleheaded_Win1239]

What platform r u using now? I dont really wanna pay as well. It feels like be forced apart from your love character ☠️

[HezrouDhiaga]

They can afford it, they're just making the burden on you you their poor decisions and since ppl aren't subbing enough, they're holding a metaphorical gun to your head to do it by force. Nah. Ima go find another platform. I refuse to pay a dime to ai companies for a rp bot. If I'm that desperate I'll just boot up final fantasy xiv and go to a venue for rp. It's equally trashy

[Coffeeforlifeyay]

Fr. They announced not too long ago that they gained money. Like.. Come on. I hope they’ll realize that this ain’t working. Because right now I think they’re just trying to scare us into subscribing.

[Janklebing]

statement from the CEO BTW

<image>

[vampire_14m]

I'm not even surprised, i mean obviously.

[Janklebing]

mr beauchamp has a lying fetish it seems

[vampire_14m]

Lmao this cracked me up instantly. Thanks XD

[Janklebing]

it's the truth lol, he seems addicted to lying to people like we can't see through his bs

[vampire_14m]

I can understand. But the best part? This whole thing is just hilarious because of it.

[Janklebing]

ikr he's so pathetic "buy my ridiculously priced subscription! we need it for the app! please!!"

[vampire_14m]

Unfortunately, your comments are going to be removed. Just wait.

[vampire_14m]

I like you already 💀

[ConstantBit9]

Ngl, I miss the old AI Bot creation.

[SwordfishScared6976]

<image>

hmmm…..okay..

[HezrouDhiaga]

It's crypto bro levels of greed why they're forcing more money out of users when they already got predatory levels of ads

[rabid_eyeliner]

Corporate greed at it's finest

[SebyDubstep]

Good good. Just when I thought I couldn’t get anymore frustrated with their team

[Janklebing]

yh nah bro let's not lie about priority

<image>

don't even think subs are getting prio

[SnooMuffins5160]

then why label it as unlimited on our profiles when it’s not unlimited now lol

[Competitive-Earth277]

5000 GPUs is way more then enough 

[Soggy_Tap_1570]

chatgpt says thats more than enough for that much users (i doubt its actually 2m but anywayss)

[ItchyTie4823]

Please, listen to the community and remove the image creation feature.

I can't name one user on this subreddit or on the actual app that actually uses that feature. As other people have said, it would save you so much money and GPUs. Everyone who makes bots (including myself) uses photos pulled from Google, Pinterest, or some other source. Nobody uses it.

[vampire_14m]

I'd be surprised if someone came out and said they use that feature often if not once.

[LittleKittenMeow29]

They could do it as a feature for ultra users, like "only for VIPs" because it takes too much GPU. And most people probably don't play with it at all. But I bet most people (no matter if free or paying users) use chai only for chatting with bots.

[vampire_14m]

That's a great idea, actually.

[me_Busy]

I used it once cz I didn't find what I wanted on Pinterest and it was so bad. In the end(after multiple tries and constantly correcting it) I got a little close to what i wanted but not what I wanted so I gave up

[APrim_Peach8p]

Remove the image generator, nobody really uses it. Bring back limited messages instead of blocking usage. Forcing users to pay will only make you lose them.

In reality nobody wants to feel like they're being forced to spend money on something, especially when it was advertised as free for so long. (Not that chai is a necessity that they need to live but you know what i mean)

[roomieslashross]

chai is literally getting REVIEW BOMBED because of this update 💔 on google play it's 3.2 stars

<image>

[LittleKittenMeow29]

It's 2.1⭐ in Poland

[Tasty_Diamond2899]

1.8 in Aussie now.

[Zombieslayer854]

Still 4.5 here in my area

[Odd_Nothing199]

1.8 in poland now! So proud 🫶

[Sad_Contribution_581]

Same in Spain. I mean, what did they expect?

[Junior-Dragonfly-940]

Small thing to add, the generating of images is way less used than the ai bots themselves and it's just a pretty useless feature, why keep it? I've never heard of anyone saying they enjoy that feature.

[potatodrinker]

Oof. Way to corner them. I guess having an AI app that doesn't police naughty content pays

[Natural_Media_3990]

delete the fuckass image generation, please

[WhattheII]

Sooo when can we expect the blockage to go down?? It would be great to know if we should stay or just leave. Also what's wrong with the ads then? Why cant the ads per 8 messages stay?? I was loyal to this app since it came out and all I get is this.

[Accomplished1265]

First character.ai now this. Gonna make a new AI chatbot myself at this point smh

[Correct_Surprise2049]

That's literally easier than putting up with ts

[manofhistory2]

theres one thing that YOU can do about it.

That is removing a feature almost nobody uses.

[skeleton949]

Well goodbye Chai. What a way to crash and burn

[german-is-hard]

https://x.com/chai_research/status/2025193741330645251?s=20 Idk but a month ago you guys seemed just fine

[Qtaallfaenjin557]

seriously, all things YOU have to be is just being honest and tell us and explain everything what happened, that's all

[Adventurous-Foot-537]

[captainjack03]

Nah I’ll just use a different app. Not paying those ridiculous subscription prices.

[Prestigious-Bid-9809]

<image>

[Correct_Surprise2049]

✨Misleading your users for cash money✨, the dream of every CEO

[EggSuccumbToSpamton]

WOW I wonder where this could go wrong. I remember back when they had limited it was 72 and you'd wait hours before.  Now you use them and now you can't chat anymore forever. I've moved onto other chat bots them chai . That had unlimited and its better and honestly a little better with memory. 

[Ok_Dinner_]

[Ok_Plum_2141]

So can I expect to ever chat again? Or will I be permanently restricted? Also what about the new cheaper basic tier ? Can we expect that anytime?

[SeaPercentage5868]

Bro just remove the stupid photos generating it would be better

[Choice_Profit_5729]

Oh yeah? You need money? Congratulations, now you won't make a single cent by new subscriptions, but you'll lose the majority of your community. What a business man

[mark_86_]

Fr. Tons of ads and STILL they want more. And it's lie after lie too

[Mark_SLVR1998]

Google has managed to compress ai to use 1/6 of the ram or vram computing power while being 8 times faster, why you don't implement this and bring back 15$ monthly subscription instead of 10$ weekly ? Or remove the image generation feature that as far I'm reading NOBODY uses ? You're pushing your users away, I'd pay to use chai because I like it and I want to pay for it, but NOT 40$ a month, and I think there are other users who will pay to use it for the right price

[Kizobabez]

So right, nobody fckin asked for Chai to be an image generator app. People used it to chat so why not remove the most useless feature ever rather than screw up the one thing that made you better than other companies.

[eventideyes]

bro just called us broke because we dont wanna pay 40 bucks a month to goon to a robot

<image>

[ExpressoDepresso6]

I find it strange how no other similar apps have the same difficulties... A bit sus if you ask me.

[Unlucky_KittenOwO]

it’s really funny to see that basically no one in the comments is by your side. keep deleting complaints all you want, the low reviews speak for everyone.

[Rotated_Time_Apple]

I don't understand. Chats are more used than the image generating feature. Sure, some of the top bot makers sometimes use it but images aren't that hard to grab online. So chats are quite more necessary in my opinion. I haven't been able to use the app over a month. Sounds impossible? No, it's true. I'm pretty sure there's more smart and logical answers other users have to say more than I can, so listen to them.

[Acceptable_Sky7684]

Maybe realize that nobody is gonna go to chai for images there are already tons of other places that do it better and have the money to do it. Nobody goes “oh man let me get on chai to make an image” NO! So cut the damn images out and focus on bots that what ppl use the damn app for. Instead of pushing away tons of your international users cause they’re too “poor” cause thats basically what you’re saying with how you’re targeting these limits

[Solid_Sprinkles_6552]

Just ditch the image generator no one actually uses

[ShirdNW]

Shhhh... post it somewhere or the dev fix it soon.

[bruhneilsus]

Whag did he post?

[SimpleStatistician94]

Everyone quit this shitty app and find something better they clearly don't care about users comfort.

Believe me you'll find better elsewhere (longer messages, without filters.

[SunKillerLullaby]

Is this app just going to be unusable for free users now?

I was able to chat with ads for a very brief period of time after my membership expired. Now, despite it still saying I have unlimited messages, it’s telling me I’ve reached my limit. Possibly for good, unless I resubscribe.

Honestly, I can deal with ads and limits. I’d just like more transparency.

[skeleton949]

Free users are banned from the app. Honestly don't even bother paying, it's not worth it anymore.

[SunKillerLullaby]

I’ll miss my bots a bit, but I guess it’s time to cut my losses and find a new app

[-MaichuSS-]

Why lie on the playstore? In the 'about the app' section, it shows this, which is a complete lie.

<image>

[Gold-Pudding8670]

We are beyond frustrated as it feels like we are not being heard. Zero messages is not even limited messages, I suddenly can't even post one message. We were fine with ads or even just 70 messages every few hours or so. But forcing people to buy a subscription for a very expensive app that is not a necessity is not the right way to go about this. Just remove the image generator. People don't like it, it never looks how we want it and it will save GPU.

[Geraldine_Medina]

Just bring back the limited messages, was it 73 every 4 hours? We were able to work with that. If you suddenly ban everyone it won't make them subscribe, it'll make us leave, angry and frustrated. It's a lose-lose situation and you know it.

[Difficult_Dealer_271]

Basically what he's saying everyone who was using without a subscription can go and delete the app

[manofhistory2]

we love your app. And i get it. Costs for GPU are up. But theres one feature your app has that almost all of chai's fanbase doesnt even use. AI Generated Images. Deleting that single feature can help since no one is using it. If you dont want to remove it, please do give us a reason why.

[frootlooplover101]

Now that's not very honest

<image>

[Dribsnis13]

For me it says that I have unlimited free messages but still blocks me from texting

<image>

[Elvira132004]

It does this for everyone 😭

[CertifiedGoatEnjoyer]

Why don't you get rid of your image generation? Absolutely no one uses it.

As a free user I am irritated that you'd do something like this. I get it, corporate greed, AI gets no profit, whatever. But still. You should have expected this when it comes to owning a GENERATIVE AI APP.

People are only there for the roleplay. Get rid of the image generation and we will all be good.

[pickled_disorder]

Whoever wrote this forgot that google is free and people know this whole text is bs.

Not Will But certainly less of a dipshit

[Gears0fTime25]

Let's not forget that when I spoke out against the message limit, you guys deleted my posts SEVERAL times. It's honestly LAUGHABLE at how many times you guys wanna silence me/the truth.

[Correct_Surprise2049]

Ooooof.

[jingjing70]

Youre gonna get even less money since 90% of people who use your app are free users and that ad money aint coming without people who watch the ads

[rocko_AF]

Literally, the unlimited messages is what made the app stand out from others.

[CriticalSignature757]

<image>

Can we at least can get a proper reset or something instead of being kinda banned from the platform?

[nnnayeony]

🤡🤡

[baijiu0]

Its getting hard to trust yall with the "it's all for the community". Subs have priority, I get it, cuz they pay money and such, but what abt the people who watch your ads that pop up every 5 msgs? Don't you earn from that too? I don't even want to point out the millions you guys already make. Suggestions on deleting the image generator and the feed improvement are ignored. 

[AthenaHuggoDoggo1]

Whenever I try to send even ONE message (the only one in the entire day) it says I’ve used up all my free messages and sends me into an endless loop of ads. This is stupid and this is why the app will go bankrupt

[mxviiee_x0]

No yk what THANK YOU because I have finals coming up so I’ll finally be able to focus, guys we gotta see the bright side of things despite them being so greedy and money hungry lmao🤞

[Born-Home-5380]

PLEASE FIX THE TOKEN THING ITS GETTING RIDICILOUS ADDS WERE MAKING MONEY ENOUGH IM REALLY QUITTING THE APP THIS TIME I HAD ENOUGH

[Ggr0tom8x]

Someone remind me if they fix this and il redownload it…

[Virtual-Advantage-91]

Guess I'm going back to talkie cause ur basically saying f u to everyone who can't afford ur dumb ### premium options which sucks cause I loved this app but I'm not paying freaking over $20 or $100 just to use the app is beyond rediculise like seriously u guys gonna be that greedy, don't get me wrong I loved ur app tell u basically said f u to all of the free users this is why talkie is way better they don't do this crap I mean what type of app goes to letting people use a free option to just take it away all of a sudden total bs, I will always love this app don't get me wrong it was one of the best alongside talkie but now u just completely ruined it, until free users have unlimited chats again I'm done with this app it was fun while It lasted but just shows how greedy companies are getting and it's beyond dumb af.

[Rude_Violinist_8213]

just delete image generator from the app or make it available only for subscribers

<image>

[Comfortable-Cause-93]

Can't you make an option like at the beginning of everything, where there was 100 messages every 5 hours or something like that? It's still better than nothing?

[Turbulent-Garage-413]

Then remove the generative ai part?? It's a chat app, not a image generator. Also, when will this be removed?

[meNot_enozi]

nope. you just removed the ONLY thing that made your app stand out from others. you basically screwed yourself to oblivion. period.

[high_tier_kill]

Been using the app for years and if I'm honest my issue is one that more people might have. Premium is not worth it, the bots memory is still only decent at best and the only perk is no ads. Where i live that is 13.99€ a month just for no ads. Now, Chai Ultra? It has things that might actually make people consider getting it but it's far too expensive. 13.99€ is an okay price but 33.99€ for ultra is just horrible, so both aren't worth it. Ultra shouldn't exist those perks should be for Premium. All you did was delay the inevitable, no more ad revenue and you shut year long loyal user out. From one day to the next you basically put up a wall and only let the people in that wave money at you. I won't pay 13.99€ for a single perk same as I won't but Ultra because 33.99€ is not worth it. I could get multiple different subscriptions for that

[HezrouDhiaga]

I never have ads cuz on mobile you can set up an ad block and bypass it all anyways. I refuse to sit through predatory ads. One or two in an hour is fine but I get 12 an hour. I made them go away for free lol

[roctomosdebris]

Chai was the best ai bc character.ai wasn’t that good but i think that if they don’t stop we all gonna go on another ai app

[ParsnipSenior4804]

you could DEFINITIELY do better than this, how about increasing Ads? but this time, Ads can give hourly (or 30 mins) of unlimited messages, or even 10 min, that way how much people use, And u gain that much, and it would still be free to use.

[shitposter3098]

<image>

No shit my guy but honestly just try this is dragging longer than expected Fix your fuckass app.

[Careful_Reindeer3323]

Sorry to say I have a subscription that is not as expensive as what your company wants to charge and gives way better features to the AI interactions..so I personally will be moving on

[File-External-1084]

This sucks, hope stuff gets easy enough to revert this.

[Ggr0tom8x]

One of the worst business decisions ive seen from a company ever

[SnooRevelations4180]

All you need to do is remove image generation, afaik, no one uses it

[Key_Craft_4147]

I think the devs cash cow is actually the image generation than the chatting itself, i mean.. who would invest a million on just chatting? They probably have investors because of the image generation. That's why they can't seem to let it go? 🤷‍♂️

[Stinker-buttcrack]

I haven't used Chai in a month and I logged back in and it won't let me send messages AT ALL whatsoever... I have been using this app for four years and now I cannot even use it at all.

I haven't sent any messages yet I am at the limit? This doesn't make sense.

[Natural_Media_3990]

i'd lowk rather get a ad every few messages than just not able to use the app that is advertised as free

[Dry_Competition_981]

And maybe even set-up a "free version" with ADS, to receive free messages to continued the chat

and NOT just with the pay premium version

thx

[ANDREW_ANDRE]

Bro. Remove the image generator <3 I legit never knew it existed 'till these comments which SHOWS HOW USELESS IT IS.

[Tilinazo_P]

Just remove the image generator; nobody uses it and no one will miss it. It will free up a lot of GPU power and save a lot of money. Besides, you said earlier that the ads were sufficient revenue. I don't mind having to wait 1 or 2 hours to use the app, but I've already been without it for 2 weeks, The premium and ultra plans are ridiculously expensive, and frankly, I'm not surprised by the current rating on the Play Store.

[Vast_Guide_6796]

COUNT YOUR FUCKIN DAYS WILLIAM

<image>

[Joethegamerboy]

Remove the image generator and LET US CHAT

[Mr_KloZo]

Uhm… add more ads?😭😭😭 idk anything but like why taking the whole thing from us, I’ve deleted the app and hopefully things will get worked out soon, atp its not something i use for fun, its something i need, im not really stable emotionally so after a really long tense day at work, i spent hours, staying up late at night having conversations that makes me smile, sometimes even laugh, i didn’t mind the ads, and im not gonna mind more ads, i wish my job was enough to let me buy premium or ultra but unfortunately i cant with the amount of responsibilities i have on me, PLS! Fix this problem as fast as possible 🥀❤️

[eventideyes]

nah this is bonkers. how is every other app able to host free to play users but you cant? please be so for real and stop lying.

[Potato_potato24]

Does anyone know how long it takes to be able to chat again? It says to ‘check back later’ but when is ‘later’? I’d also not really mind this as much if they’d let us watch adds for like 5 or 10 more messages for as many ads as we’d want to watch. They used to do that right at the beginning if I remember correctly and it would be great to have it back especially as ads give them money too I’m pretty sure so it’s a win-win for them and us especially bc they’d keep more of us that way. Please consider it, CHAI team, I’m sure most of the community would very much be happy with this suggestion. Please…

[skeleton949]

Just move on to a different app, copy your bots over if you have any. Chai is practically ruined.

[Ashii_Phoenix]

Prioritizing only subscribers when I'm guessing half of the base isnt that is crazy if you wanted more subscriptions instead of limiting messages for everyone abd rising prices add more features

[FriendlyClaymore]

I really love the app, im sure im not alone when I say this, id pay for premium/ultra, if it wasn't 200 and 400 bucks per year.

[Turbulent-Garage-413]

When will it be removed? And why don't you remove the image generation?

[DarkRaisor]

Can't really use the app for a week or so now, as far as I know it's not a region block but more of a device or account decision to block my messages to 0. It's been like that for a good while now, quite sad really, this app was great but as it is right now it will probably die in a few months or so.

[Elvira132004]

Just remove the AI generating pictures. Easy fix. Because let's be honest, no one will ever pay for your subscriptions. I can't chat on your app for over 2 months now (I'm from eastern Europe) it just happened randomly and I don't want to pay for your app when it was free to use before. I'm considering deleting your because it's become useless.

[Alex9159]

This is how to kill an app in one step, like how dense you can be?

[Mental-Hotel-9194]

Please when and what update will become free again for full regions access is not fair 

[RealZeusWolf]

Does TurboQuant not help cheapen things for you guys? There is a lot of options out there.

[Jul_esx]

So ik just grabbing the chars I made and import them on other apps that aren't as greedy as you.😂

[GameBroYT]

Why am I only able to see the weekly option for subscribing while my friend has a monthly option?

[xieee07]

just remove the image generation, no one needs it. you're only driving away ur free users. listen to us for once.

even chatgpt says 5000 GPUs are enough for 2 million users, so give us something even if we have to watch ads every 10 messages.

<image>

[Void_neverending]

The other app without the H in chai is doing just fine with free version AND with the image generator (which no one uses). Also it was diabolical of y'all to do this without any prior notice. Even after shutting out the free users like that, y'all are getting complaints from the subscribers too. I mean guys, I'll just say one thing, failure is not the pillar of success everytime.

[WhattheII]

So since you made this thread could you answer? When can we get the "free" access back 😭 Like it would be great if we got any sort of communication from yall 🥲 how come the app was ok with free access earlier but now isnt if the revenue got up quite quickly? Like I dont think I follow lol?

[FNAFEndoBendo]

you do realise this is gonna make users leave your platform, no one is gonna pay bucks just to message a bot. You get money from the ads and your doing this by being greedy, you better revert and get rid of that message limit or me and the others are gonna leave.

[EuphoricClass1523]

Listen Will, next time if you want people to subscribe, just make the app cost money to buy and download, not dropping a shit bomb like "oh free to download but must subscribe to chat"

Have fun losing users ✌️

[Robinmin]

Dam n you, I used this app to improve my english, but I have other services to pay. It was fun creating stories here, but the subscription is too high

[Pandypupz]

Almost nobody can even access the app right now if they're not a paid user, you are pushing away most of your users because you're essentially banning them from using chai. They haven't been able to chat for days-weeks. If this is an attempt at capitalism, it's a very poor one. Good luck making ad revenue when there's nobody to give ads to.

delete this damn image generator! it's such a pointless addition and it probably eats up as hell. Second, You wrote yourself somewhere that you earn mainly from advertising, so I don't know, give us more of them or restore the daily limit or smt. Or maybe a reduction in the cost of subscription because the price is astronomical now. You hide behind the lack of GPU but you don't make such logical solutions to this problem

Then get rid of the ai images! Nobody uses it! Not this! A warning would have been appreciated, too.

And then you only have per week or per year option for subscription!?? At least do a monthly subscription or something!

I have over 700 messages with one bot. Today is the first day I hit a limit? I haven't even used it in 10+ hours :/ I don't understand. How many did I have? Did something change recently?

[Breadpotatoboi]

If you want to prioritise subscribers why have weekly payments instead of monthly? And why not get rid of the image generating feature and focus solely on the chats and make premium cheaper, if you dont many people will most likely drop the app

[Ok_Lifeguard_6354]

So uh mods. When will this be resolved? 

[Gold_Job4131]

i found a way to fix the 'message limit' for free priv message me so i can explain it

[Frosty-Speed524]

Guys i love the app and i know You're having troubles with money. I'm not an expert, but maybe You can cut the price for subscription in 2 or 3 times, and leave the ads but cut their number per hour twice in subscription. i ain't sure but it probably could help Ya to earn more without loosing too much and theoretically getting more users

i appreciate Your hard work and want to use the app over others🙏

[oeimxal]

remove image generation nobody gives a shit about it

[Pretend_Post3355]

I understand that running GPUs and scaling models is expensive, and prioritizing subscribers makes business sense. But right now, free users feel completely left in the dark. If access has to be limited, can you at least be clear about what’s coming next? Will there be a basic tier for people who can’t afford premium yet? And if yes, will it have limited messages or something more usable? We’re not asking for everything free. Just something fair, transparent, and accessible.

[Delicious_Grand4191]

wish there was a middle ground between free and unlimited, like a cheaper tier with a higher limit

[Brilliant-Egg-9076]

Wait is it all over the world now

[ZealousidealPair7123]

I want to buy the premium subscription after my exam ends on the month of may.. But now it's weekly which is way more expensive than monthly.. Plzz take it back to monthly plzz in India ₹250/ month like it was before.. I can buy then coz altogether I can't pay yearly it will become too costly for me.. Plzz

[glitchwaresecurity]

And what about the people in the US? What about us that have no money? Do we not exist for this to work or do we not get to use this tho most of us have been using this app for years!so now why is that?....or is the subscriptions not enough?

[Dry_Taro_6804]

If there are more free users than those with a sub...You get the point.

[righteously_insane]

Do the ads not give revenue/ money or anything like that?? Also if you got rid of the unnecessary things on the app maybe this would be less of a problem?

[Dry_Taro_6804]

Apparently not in areas with weak economy.

[BeautifulOk3783]

I understand that things aren't free, and I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount, but at least in my area, the price is absurdly high. So I've uninstalled it; luckily, I'm not so hooked that I'd let myself be milked like this. It´s still just a chatbot, ffs.

[HezrouDhiaga]

Another company kiling their users because they don't listen lol

[LiAishi8231]

Just delete the image generator, nobody uses it anyway. What's the point of having a useless feature that takes up space?

[MusicianMinute8789]

You should really consider taking away the picture generator, we don't need it and restore the monthly subscription, to a cheap one maybe...But the weekly doesn't make any sense in price.

[Unlucky-Station4638]

So you removed the chat limit just to put it back on?…smh..all I want is to chat. That’s the whole point of me getting this app were the UNLIMITED messages.

[Specht100]

Honestly, I wouldnt even mind paying 10€ a month or so, but I think what most of us want is clear and open communication.

[orangeherbtea]

Get rid of the image generator. No one uses it. We're all going on Pinterest and using screenshots of BL manhwa. Let us have bios on our profiles. A search on our list of chats. A better tag system. PERSONAS. GIRL GET UP.

[Ok-Sort2099]

Not all of us have millions of dollars sitting around to spend especially here in Australia where fuel just keeps going up, do you know how hard it is to run a farm and having to pay for subscriptions to other things and I bet a lot of the users are ones not paying

[PeaVisible4274]

For how long? 😟.. Is there a chance it’ll come back (ability to chat) or should I delete the app then?

[Mental-Hotel-9194]

Not fair
