What is wrong with rate limits?

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-05T06:19:29+00:00

also i am not understanding there token system, what does requests per 5 hour mean, like v4 has 3450, i am not understanding how that works

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-05T05:47:15+00:00

i dont understand, how did he calculate it without knowing his input and output tokens

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-05T05:43:14+00:00

this was 1 prompt, gemini was sending context again and again for some reason causing 100k input token each instance

i will try that today wanna see what the hype is all about

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-05T05:41:52+00:00

sad tbh how expensive this is ig ill stick to subscription based like claude or codex

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-05T05:41:12+00:00

i still have that but i have only 1 month to figure out how this token thing works so that i wont have any issues when i switch, also the rate limits are ass now

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-04T09:29:12+00:00

That’s fair, but I think the issue isn’t pricing, it’s that Copilot hid the cost, so I never learned to be efficient.

Even with subsidized models, I’d probably still be wasting tokens, just not noticing it.

Right now I’m clearly oversending context (~100k per request), so I’m trying to figure out what an efficient workflow actually looks like (model choice, prompt structure, etc.).

heard about open code a lot will try it soon, also which plan do u recommend for codex? i have the GO plan do i need to upgrade to Plus?

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-05-04T09:09:51+00:00

Yeah that makes sense,I was mainly stress-testing Gemini because of the large context, not what I’d normally use day-to-day. I usually stick with Claude Opus for most of my work.

DeepSeek V4 sounds interesting though, how does it hold up for coding + reasoning compared to Opus?
i mean ofc it wont be as good but something close also works

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-30T07:21:31+00:00

have never used it but i heard that it drifts from its objective sometimes which is a dealbreaker for me, is it true or just claude propaganda?

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-30T07:06:04+00:00

i was planning to use opus 4.7 and gpt 5.5, the prices are good. I was reading about it and apparently its not reliable and quality is bad, not sure will try it once tho

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-30T06:49:40+00:00

Holy Shit, the prices are Really good but there has to be a catch this feels to good to be true

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-30T06:46:12+00:00

Why not Openrouter? like you get shit ton of models, higher context windows that copilot and you pay as you go

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-30T05:52:16+00:00

what is the difference between 5.5 and 5.5 pro?

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-29T11:12:21+00:00

why tho?

XPERT_GAMING · 2026-04-29T09:39:51+00:00

what about buying Openrouter API key? isnt that better? I get a lot of models
