Interesting. I also find it frustrating to be rate limited/have responses fail when I’m paying for the product, but I’ve actually found that the “concise” mode answers have less fluff and make for faster back and forth. I’ve once or twice looked for the concise mode selector when the load wasn’t high.

All that money and talk of "scale" and yet not only it is slow but costs billions a year to run at normal load and is struggling at high load.

This is essentially Google-level load and they can't do it.

Agreed, I was surprised by it after I first have subscribed to Pro and had a not-that-long chat with it.
