“I also tried using Notion's agents, but they were hilariously dumb - even if there was no new work to do, they'd redo yesterday's work and burn credits for no reason. Not sure if that's been improved, but I'm glad they charge separately for it, so I'm not paying for something I…”

“Last night and this morning sol medium has been burning weekly tokens as fast as 5 hour window. Such a rip off product sometimes, 1 day a task will take 10 percent 5 hour usage and the next day the same task will eat through 80 percent. there is no way that makes sense.”
Several Notion users report sudden limitations on their AI usage, with some seeing monthly caps and others experiencing rate limit errors. This change impacts those who rely heavily on Notion's AI features for daily tasks like video transcription.

always wondered why my limits kept drying up so fast, this explains a lot
“Limits are great, but also pay for a ChatGPT account and if I run out of AI usage in the month it defaults to that. I’ve run out once though in a month and I probably talk with Notion AI at close to 400 chats a week.”

“I'm not sure. but since I already spent my FREE token like 1.5 yrs ago? .. I never use AI feature again. back then it sucks. . . but who know what have become now. but still I have no use for AI for now. maybe in the future.”

“Started in 2023 - slowly morphed my vault towards a Second Brain structure. Personally love that AI can extract insights, even if you don't have it write to your vault. Best of both worlds?”
“I'm on track to use about 80 per cent of my monthly limit this month. I'm pretty careful about which LLMs I use for various tasks, so it's working fine (I suspect that tougher limits my be over the horizon, however).”
“I'm so glad they are doing this. One of the main reasons they are implementing the new partner program requirements is because of AI slop”
“i just promted some regular message to opus 5 and got my monthly usage from 20% to 100% lmao”
“Yeah they and all AI companies now are really enforcing the costs and restrictions to a high degree now, we all got suckered into it and now they're changing the rules. Welcome to the digital George Orwell!”
“Yes. I actually did it 30+ times no cap but the AI rate limits gave me a wake up call.”
“But the bullet and migrated to Obsidian because of this. There’s just no point in paying for a sub anymore. Shame.”
When I hit the 6 hour pause, i feel like using Claude's free tier.
“Yup because we all signed up for unlimited use. Free users upgraded. And paid users updated. Regardless of whether or not we should have expected that unlimited use to persist (because this is something people are making the conversation when I think most people are saying simply: I paid for unlimited and Notion changed things after I set up a whole system relying on that unlimited usage). It’s like folks are mad that we didn’t anticipate something that Notion clearly could have anticipated. So”
“Is there a way I can see my historic usage? Genuinely curious so I can anticipate my future usage…”

I reached 100% of the rolling allowance and was still able to continue using Notion AI normally. However, the monthly allowance appears extremely low. My monthly usage increased from 5% to 15% after using one full rolling allowance, which suggests the entire monthly”
“Notion says its new AI usage allowances will take effect on August 3. However, the usage dashboard is already live under Settings → Notion AI → Usage , and it is actively counting prompts. I took screenshots before and after running one prompt: Rolling usage went from 0% to 10% Monthly usage went from 5% to 6% Notion’s banner says users will not be restricted before August 3, but I have not finished testing that claim. I want to see what actually happens when the rolling allowance reaches 100%—w”
“All AI usage rates are going to increase in the coming year, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini all of them”
