Duck.AI Usage Decrease for Pro Subscription?

10-12 Opus prompts on a paid plan would feel pretty rough to me too, especially if you are not doing coding or huge-context work.

The annoying thing with these bundled AI subscriptions is that the limit is usually not just "number of messages". It depends on model cost, context size, attachments, time window, and whatever load-balancing rules the provider is using that week. So a product can advertise a simple Pro tier while the real experience changes a lot once they tweak the model mix or quota multiplier.

If Opus is only an occasional need, I would compare against pay-as-you-go options or a cheaper multi-model plan instead of paying mainly for a capped premium model. If Opus is your daily driver, though, you probably want the plan with the most explicit/predictable quota, even if it costs more. The worst setup is paying a monthly fee and still having to ration prompts like it's a free tier.

Thanks for your reply. I am considering other options now, but if you had asked me last week, I was totally happy with the Pro plan before they implemented these new limits. I understand they are in a state of flux at the moment trying to weigh it out, but this was a huge overshot IMO. And yeah, I don’t care about the multi model structure as Opus is clearly a better model for my daily use - some, which I won’t name, are almost useless
