20 USD tier was useless from the start. You'd get to the limit in 30 minutes.
Codex with 20 USD on the other hand...

Give Codex a month or two and it'll just do the same thing, though now with a million more users because Claude Code wasn't good enough.

I'm on the 20 USD tier, and it works quite well for me. Basically I send one very carefully crafted task to the LLM per 4h limit, do a couple of minor questions, and the rest of the time I'm thinking/exploring/coding. I am producing around a tenth of the code of my colleagues, but around the same number of features.
I'm still with them cause the model is good, but yes, I'm noticing my limits burning up somewhat faster on the 100 USD tier, I bet the 20 USD tier is even more useless.
I wouldn't call it a rugpull, since it seems like there might be good technical reasons for the change, but at the same time we won't know for sure if they won't COMMUNICATE that to us. I feel like what's missing is a technical blog post that tells uz more about the change and the tokenizer, although I fear that this won't be done due to wanting to keep "trade secrets" or whatever (the unfortunate consequence of which is making the community feel like they're being rugpulled).
