  • Others argue that the new feature is a positive development, providing more value to existing subscribers without increasing the price.
  • Some users are concerned that the limits of the fair use policy are not transparent and may lead to unexpected costs.
  • There are differing opinions on whether the fair use policy is reasonable, with some thinking it is generous and others believing it is too restrictive.

  • Others think that the new feature is a good addition, but some features, such as access to all models, should be available on all plans.
