I don't know if this is OpenAI's intention, but the little message "you've reached your usage limit!" is actively disincentivizing me from subscribing. For my purposes, the free model is more than good enough; the difference before and after is negligible. I honestly wouldn't pay a dollar.
That said, I'm absolutely willing to hear people out on "value-adds" I am missing out on; I'm not a knee-jerk hater (For context, I work with large, complex & private databases/platforms, so its not really possible for me to do anything but ask for scripting suggestions).
Also, I am 100% expecting a sad day when I'll be forced to subscribe, unless I want to read dick pill ads shoehorned in to the answers (looking at you, YouTube). I do worry about getting dependent on this tool and watching it become enshittified.
Just switch to a competitors free offering. There are enough to cycle through not to be hindered by limits. I wonder how much money I have cost those companies by now?
How anyone believes there is any moat for anyone here is beyond me.
