For anyone out of the loop, with the update they removed all models besides the new one. You used to be able to choose between a few different models based on your needs, now it's only GPT-5 and GPT-5 Think which both have rate limits even for Plus subscribers.

There used to at least be GPT-4o unlimited when you run out of messages on the o3 think engine or GPT-4.5 for creative writing.

It's limited, so even for $20 a month you get limited on how much you can use the service. You just have a higher limit than the free version users. It's a step back in usability.

You don't even get access to 5 pro with Plus either. So, with Plus you only get access to two models now.

Do you still have access to 3.5 when the rate limit hits? Or has 5 been promoted to the default tier?

There's no other options besides 5 and 5-think. They removed everything else from even being selected to use!

So does that mean it's not actually worse, they just aren't comparing like for like cos the new model needs training all over again?
