When's the last time you checked what is offered by the plus subscription? It's been a while now that it's the equivalent to ChatGPT Go (on price and offer), giving only increased limits but no difference in model access compared to free.

When I switched from the Pro to the Plus subscription, they did not state anything to that effect. I expected a smaller quota of their most recent flash models, and instead I got models that are so old they are useless to me, so I canceled the subscription.

It is the lack of transparency that gets me. With PAYG open-weight models, I know exactly what I get for my money.

The Google One site lists all the tiers and their access levels. You didn't bother to check, and call the lack of a nag-screen a "lack of transparency?"

		I did check. Did you? It literally says "Access to our Flash models" with no indication that they would see no updates for... How many months has it been? I think you can understand why I was expecting the version of the Flash models to keep up with updates. Edit: And back when I paid for my yearly subscription they also promised access to the Pro models. They simply took that feature away and offered no compensation. So, understandably, I am disappointed and disinterested in their offerings.

People see

"Access to 3.1 pro" and they read it as "Access to Gemini Pro models".

Turns out when Google names a model in that subscription, they mean that model, not necessarily that class of model :/
