The response to Sonnet 4.5 has been incredible. We've also seen some people hitting weekly limits, particularly if you're using Opus. We've just reset limits for all paid users to give everyone a fresh start with Sonnet 4.5.

here are the models i'm using currently: sonnet 4.5 as daily driver. fast, smart and just gets you gpt-5 codex for the hardest tasks. still most intelligent and finds things no other model does. feel like gpt-5 is the new o3, and sonnet 4.5 is the new sonnet 4 (duh)
