Yes, I do that to do quick tests of the model, but I am looking for the subsidized monthly subscription, which everyone else has. I won't use it otherwise.

For unknown reasons workspace accounts get ridiculously slow roll outs of new models.

The only way to get the latest models with decent limits on a subsidized plan is to pay the full cost (monthly or yearly) for the pro plan or higher on a personal account.

Promo "pro" accounts and discounted "pro" accounts get much worse limits and model selection.

If that last is accurate, that seems like a terrible choice. I signed up for a 3 month discounted Pro trial to see if Gemini was worth trying against Claude and ChatGPT, then ran into an hour long lockout after my first serious prompt to Argon. Not a great first impression.

They're really trying to corral people into full price plans. Their lack of transparency around this is extremely dumb though

But at least the limits in the full plan are about the same as astra limits on the $20 oai plan.
