Asked Images 2.0 to create this picture regarding confusing usage limits

Looking at the pricing pages for subscriptions compared to the API pricing I've always laughed because it seems like toilet paper math. "Twenty times more usage than the middle plan, which gives you 5x more usage than the increased usage that you get on the plus plan compared to the free usage." I know that some subscriptions like GitHub Copilot will be using straight API pricing in the near future and while at least they'll be transparent about cost it's still a hard thing to measure because it's hard to estimate how many tokens any given request will use.
