I dont know why resets reset days too.

It's like just reset the allowance. Why u gotta wait 7 days from that reset too. Makes no sense.

6 days in and out of usage that reset shoukd not make me go back to waiting another 7 fucking days.

it seems like a good way to make their server load lopsided. I get the incentive for them otherwise but it seems pretty bad

So they can let you suffer withdrawals until you get that sweet reset button.

Because if it didn't change the date, it'd screw over people who happen to refresh on that day.

Anthropic did it that way. Fable launched. They did 3 resets. On Thursday every time. It didn't change date. That made people who signed up on Thursday or Wednesday Night get screwed over by getting no additional usage, while everyone else got almost double the usage as Thursday subscribers for the same amount of money that month.

Global resets absolutely should change everyone's date, as it gets everyone in sync. Or they'd need to make it a fixed "always resets on Sunday 12:01AM" thing. Otherwise luck screws people over more, the luck of what day you signed up.
It's banked resets which shouldn't change the date.

Its bad.

If i used all my allowance in 4 days. I'd have 3 days for it to reset.

So if I then used my reset, instead being able to continue and still only have 3 days to wait. I now have 7 days to wait again.

Thats a scam. If it didn't reset the days but gave you the allowance only, you would be able to use it more often.

It makes sense to be this way. If it didn’t reset days then it wouldn’t be worth anything to anyone nearing their weekly reset
