what changed: a "1 ask" used to mean "one message you sent." it now means "a unit of cost." short turns barely move the meter; heavy ones (long codegen, multi-tool runs) count for more. you see the live % in /usage.
windows: • Free — daily reset • Pro / Pro+ — rolling 7-day window, so deep work can burst across days instead of getting capped on a long Tuesday
multipliers (vs Free's daily): • Pro = 5× • Pro+ = 10× (2× more than Pro)
bonuses unchanged in spirit, just expressed as %: • welcome boost on signup = 3 days of Free's daily, drains last • /vote daily on top.gg = +50% Free / +10% Pro / +5% Pro+
new Pro positioning: channel-shaped personas. one shared character your whole channel works with — campaign narrator, mascot, study buddy. opt-in alongside your personal workspace, never replaces it. shared file workspace + collaborator invites + MCP sharing all still in.
Pro+ = everything in Pro plus 2× the headroom (10× Free usage, 10 GB workspace).
near-future: model selection so you can pick which model to burn through, and bring-your-own-key on Pro/Pro+ for usage outside these limits. Free BYO TBD.
net: free users get more brief chatty room, paid users get burst flexibility across the week, and what you spend tracks what you actually built.
