Wow, I subscribed to pro-mode and have been using it like crazy since release to assist my firmware development. Extremely helpful. Now it's changed my workflow so much, I don't even want to work when it's down.
Perhaps time to re-evaluate your tools? Imagine going to your kitchen and finding all your pots and pans are "down" and you can no longer prepare anything. That would be awful.

I am confuse why you had ChatGPT rewrite your post. How much time did you save, vs knowing that it’s off putting for people to read?

It wasn’t an accusation (I don’t think it actually matters in the end), so much as to understand why do it — in a post about ChatGPT usage, it helps understand context: if OP values using it for stuff I wouldn’t value using it for, for example, then it will change the variables.

The switching equipment can fail. Had this happen at a DC where the switching equipment arc flashed when going from mains to diesel generators. The switching equipment detected the arc and then locked out until someone onsite could inspect the equipment and override it. The rack UPSes only lasted like 5 minutes and then everything went dark.
That sounds quiet.

Power outage seems really odd. Don't datacenters usually have multiple redundant power supplies + on-site backup power generation? Maybe power "incident" mean something else?
Tl;Dr fire in one data center hall was put out with water, water leaked into other hall's power generator and battery area. Turns out loads of water and power generation equipment don't mix well, and servers don't like sitting in puddles of water.
Another one was where the whole building burnt down rather than "just" the power equipment. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/fire-destroys-ovh...

> you ... may experience a degraded experience What an eloquent way to say "our service isn't working".
It’s always the same abstract invisible hand that just keeps affecting everyone! Scott Alexander’s Moloch perhaps :)

Would you be willing to elaborate on the ways in which the $200/month subscription is better than the $20/month subscription? I’m genuinely curious - not averse to paying more, depending on the value.
When I get stuck or have a larger task or refactor, I'll paste in multiple files. So at the $20/mo you get rate limited pretty quick. I made a tool to easily copy files https://pypi.org/project/ggrab/
Not sure if it’d work for your workflow, but it’s really nice if it does.

How much context do you get on the $20 plan? I run llama3 at home which technically does 128k but that eats vram like crazy so I can't go further than 80k before I fill it (and that is with the KV store already quantified to 8 bit). I've been thinking of using another service for bigger contexts. But this may not make sense then.
The sales page shows the $20 plus plan has 32K context window.
I only use GPT via the API anyway so it's pay as you go. But as far as I remember there's limits there too, only big spenders get access to the top shelf stuff. I only spend a couple dollars a month because I use my llama server most of the time. It's not as good as ChatGPT obviously but it's mine and doesn't leak my conversations.
