The AI runs her 7:30 AM topic-scouting and draft routine every day; her credit log exposed the free plan's hidden monthly cap
Japanese blogger chocononno has the AI run the same routine every morning at 7:30: scout topics for her blog and note, draft posts, and collect security news in her fields of interest, benchmarked against the same request to the AI. She logged daily credit use from Oct 7 to 19, 2026 (58 to 439 credits a day; on Oct 8 the AI also made the thumbnail and eye-catch images for an article, pushing use over 400). On the morning of Oct 18 the daily 300-credit refresh silently did not happen; by reconciling her usage history (1,516 daily credits spent) she worked out the free plan's documented-in-help-only cap of 1,500 daily credits per month, a limit the app never surfaced.
How it works
- Set a 7:30 AM scheduled the AI task (topic scouting, drafts, security-news collection)
- Routine runs daily from Oct 7
- She finishes some articles inside an AI app, including images on Oct 8
- She logs credit use daily
- On Oct 18 the daily refresh fails to appear
- She reconciles the log against the AI help pages and identifies the 1,500/month free daily-credit cap
Why it’s worth knowing
She reverse-engineered an undocumented-feeling plan limit (1,500 free daily credits a month) purely from her own usage ledger when the refresh silently stopped.
