The new 5.6 models are great, but the pricing policy is not

The new 5.6 models are great, but the pricing policy is not. After extensive testing, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Sol Max and Sol Ultra models are indeed impressive, but their price is disproportionately high. I tried to rationalize usage by using a higher-tier model for planning and a lower-tier one for execution. Unfortunately, my conclusions are devastating.

On the $100 plan, I used to do everything with the 5.5 xHigh model and never hit the limits - everything worked well and predictably. Now, despite switching between models, it’s a disaster: working within the 5-hour window is practically impossible! And I’m not even talking about working on Sol Ultra or even High - just Sol Medium or Luna xHigh. This is incomprehensible - token cost inflation disguised as a new model! I’m very disappointed, even though I do appreciate the quality of the higher-tier models.
