I wonder whether the usage limit changes behaviour more than the pricing itself.
Once every prompt feels scarce, people may stop exploring and use AI only for tasks whose value they can already predict. That sounds efficient, but experimentation is often where unexpected workflows are discovered.
Model routing can stretch the allowance, but does it also make the user spend more attention managing the tool than thinking through the work?
Exactly. Scarcity may make people more intentional, but it can also make them less curious.
Once users start judging every prompt by whether it will produce an immediate return, the exploratory behaviour that helps them discover better workflows begins to disappear. The tool may become more efficient while the user becomes less inventive with it.

Yes I personally believe it changes behaviour
