What's Wrong?

I am a subscriber to the paid premium tier ($100/month plan). Recently, I have noticed a significant and sensitive drop in the session limits. The "session limit reached" warning is triggering much faster than usual, even with standard usage and normal prompt lengths.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior:
The session limit should reflect the higher capacity promised for the premium tier, allowing for extended usage before triggering a limit.

Actual Behavior:
The session limit is reached rapidly, severely disrupting the workflow despite the premium subscription.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Log in with a paid premium account.

Start a new conversation or continue an existing one.

Observe that the usage limit warning appears much earlier than the expected capacity for this tier.
