Day 17 of "not available in your region" 👇
🚨 UK & EU ChatGPT Pro users are STILL waiting for Dots! 🇬🇧🇪🇺
Launched 29 Sept. Weeks later we're paying full price and still getting "not available in your region".
Grok Bot works fine here. What's the hold-up?
Just give us a date 🙏

I built DMB for our Discord community. Now other server owners can use it too.
Moderation, XP & leaderboards, role panels, analytics and X/RSS feeds in one dashboard.
Start Free: 1 server, 1 feed, no card. X sign-in needs a Windows helper.

ALT DMB demo output with fictional members: level and streak leaderboards, plus Alice’s level card with XP progress and streak progress.
ALT DMB demo dashboard: community activity charts for messages, commands, joiners, leavers, moderation warnings and timeouts, with a commands-used table below.
ALT DMB feed demo with fictional content: a community game-night announcement posted into Discord from an X feed.

🚨 I’m really disappointed with OpenAI.
I think they completely missed what we actually wanted from DevDay.
We wanted:
→ A model that could seriously challenge Opus 5.5
→ Higher usage limits
→ 5-hour limits removed for Plus
→ More value from the $200 Pro plan
→ 50x usage on the $500 tier
→ A meaningful upgrade to everyday ChatGPT
Instead we got:
→ GPT-6.1 Sol -good, but not the leap I was expecting
→ Pro 200: 20x → 10x
→ GPT-6 Pro: 200 → 100 messages/week
→ Pro 500: 25× usage
→ Ultrafast - impressive, but eats of limits way faster
→ Dots - cool idea, but honestly, I probably won’t use them
And the part that really gets me:
GPT-6.1 Sol isn't even available in normal ChatGPT yet.
I keep coming back to one question:
Why build another $500 tier before fixing the plans people already pay for?
We didn't need more ways to spend money on OpenAI.
We needed ChatGPT to get better.
After all that DevDay hype, I think they didn't Live up to the HYPE.

🚨 OPENAI Has a big problem
OpenAI appears to have quietly removed the 5× and 20× usage labels from its Pro plans
Previously:
> $100 Pro = 5× more usage than Plus
> $200 Pro = 20× more usage than Plus
Now both simply say: “More usage than Plus”
OpenAI’s own help page still describes the tiers as 5× and 20×, so the UI change is especially interesting
Why is OpenAI so bad at being transparent It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this??

“Sir, Dario just dropped opus 5.5 and it beats GPT-6 astra at agentic coding on medium effort while being 80% cheaper… beats fable 5.1 on every benchmark… 30% faster than opus 5… and sir… they even raised the usage limits and gifted everyone a tibo style banked reset…”

Banked resets might not be as generous as they look, Do you get this?
Here's the comparison of same 14% allowance drain before vs after a banked reset:
Before: ~115M tokens
After: ~64M tokens
That’s almost 50% less usage for the same 14% drain 😭
The concerning part? Using the banked reset also pushes the next weekly reset another 7 days out.
Obviously we can’t see what’s happening server-side, so this isn’t definitive proof, but if the analysis holds, a banked reset could be giving significantly less allowance than a normal weekly reset while still restarting the weekly clock.

We've made some improvements that improve usage on the long tail for power users of Astra when logged in with your ChatGPT account.
No change in quality and a pure win that on the long tail can result in up to 3-4X less usage being drawn from the subscription.
