Anthropic's models are obviously superior at coding right now but using 2-3 $20 accounts between different providers is still a very effective way to get good value. Gemini CLI and Codex seem to be at least 2x more permissive on usage. The models are good enough. Plus we are technologists, we want to try out different stuff and compare.

That's precisely what I do, with subscriptions to all of them. Gemini almost seems unlimited...like I never hit limits with it. Don't even know how to check my usage for the subscription plans on that. But increasingly I'm using Claude for basically all real coding. I ask Gemini and Codex questions, but I'm honestly in awe at Opus' ridiculous capabilities.

Gemini 3.1 pro under a Google AI pro subscription has just recently started imposing really small weekly limits. I went from it feeling unlimited to hitting a 4 day quota in 2 hours of use. Very odd. Wonder if too many people jumped on with the 3.1 pro release.

Are you sure? It's a 6h window on the page

Not sure what you mean by "it", but the doubled usage would be 18h a day.

What I mean is that "it" - the advertised window during which the offer applies - is not 5am to 11pm as mentioned by the poster above.

Would be better if they simply made it free for open source developers. I can barely justify spending time on my hobby projects. If I paid for this, I'd be paying to work for them since they're using our data for training.

How would this work? How would they verify that someone is an “open source developer”?

They would use the "trust me bro" verification mechanism

Converted to AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time):

Peak hours (normal usage): 8 AM – 2 PM ET → 12 AM (midnight) – 6 AM AEDT (next day)

Off-peak hours (2x usage): All other times → 6 AM – 11:59 PM AEDT

My fellow Californians would agree that, yes, ET is an alien time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone

Brazil have 3 tz, but officially we have just one. We are a vertically country :)

You and China both https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/china
