Beyond the limitation itself, the lack of transparency regarding consumption and the exact criteria leading to blocking generates even more frustration.
The usage dashboard shows 0 credits/0 tokens consumed even while the limit is being enforced.
I wonder if we still have a rate limit but we are unable to visualize or track it?
My weekly limit went from 96% remaining to 0% within a single day with barely any usage.
This appears to be an entitlement/account synchronization issue rather than an actual usage limit.
