I'm ok with the 1k token thing because it's smart on their end. It gives people time to build new habits. Right now, I still find myself habitually going to google by default but in 125 or however long it takes to reach 1k tokens, in theory that habit should be reversed.
I heard they will lower the limit eventually.
That's pretty cool that you've been using it a few months already! I'd love for everyone in the world to know about this haha.
