Is ChatGPT Plus still worth $20 in 2026… or are we just paying to hit limits faster?

A Reddit user, who has been a ChatGPT Plus subscriber for over a year, is questioning the value of the $20 subscription in 2026. They express concern that the service, which once felt like a significant upgrade, now imposes 5-hour Codex limits that are quickly reached. The user asks if others still find the subscription worthwhile or if it has become a way to "pay to be limited less painfully," prompting a discussion about whether to upgrade to Pro or discontinue the service.

This discussion highlights a shift in user perception, moving from a perceived upgrade to a concern about hitting usage limits faster, unlike earlier experiences.
