tired of silent restrictions and rerouting to free models on pro

it's class action time, I'm tired of losing access to CoT models arbitrarily, while being deceived into thinking they're still running, downgraded to output token limit that the free tier has, deep research deactivated. the only part of my pro sub that still works is sora. it is deliberate deception - otherwise there would be an error message saying you've been limited, ideally while telling you why.

there are literally thousands of posts on social media from people who have been affected by this. posts twitter wide, posts reddit wide. most people are confused. they simply notice that the o1 pro ui disappears and think that o1 pro got dumber, they don't realize they're being limited on a service they paid $200 to have unlimited access to, without any indication that it's happened, or that anything has gone wrong.

the fact that they route you to another model silently, and fake the chain of thought to make it SEEM like you still have access, turns it into a deliberately deceptive practice.

it's fraud, plain and simple, and I'm done dealing with it. my whole life has been taking on corporations and systems like this and forcing them to bend and break. nobody else is gonna do it. I might as well start the ball rolling.
