Forever.

@sl1ma4 Meanwhile, Wave Code is taking a different approach 👀

No expensive coding subscription.
No 5-hour limit anxiety.
Watch a few ads → keep coding.

Maybe developers just want predictable access to their coding agent. 😅

Wave Code: AI coding without the subscription headache.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@Im_IrushiK @thsottiaux 😂 Enjoy that reset while it lasts!

But imagine never having to wait for one in the first place. 👀

That’s what we’re building with Wave Code — an ad-supported AI Coding Agent with no subscription and no rate limits.

Watch an ad → keep coding. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@HarshChavd1a 😂 Don’t worry, we’re working on making the ads worth watching too.

If I’m asking developers to watch an ad, it better be a good one. 👀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@buildwithrajath Meanwhile, Wave Code is taking a simpler approach:

No expensive subscription.
No 5-hour limit anxiety.
Watch ads → keep coding.

Maybe the plan can just be “let developers code.” 👀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@WesRoth And that’s exactly the gap Wave Code is trying to fill. 👀

Why jump from $20 → $100–$200 just to avoid a usage window?

Wave Code: watch an ad → keep coding. 🚀

A different option for developers who just want to keep building.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

Exactly the kind of thing that makes AI coding expensive fast. 😂

Instead of stacking $100–$200 subscriptions for more “brainpower,” we’re trying a different model with Wave Code:

Watch an ad → get compute → keep coding. 🚀

More options for developers who can’t justify another expensive AI subscription.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

😂 That contrast is exactly why people are skeptical.

If compute is the reason, it’s understandable that higher-paying plans get more capacity—but it also shows that access to compute is ultimately the product.

That’s why we launched Wave Code with a different model:

Watch an ad → help fund the compute → keep coding. 🚀

Not everyone can justify $100–$200/month just to get more breathing room.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

Yeah, bigger limits sound great until you realize you’re also burning through them faster. 😅

That’s the bigger problem with AI coding tools: the number on the quota isn’t always the real story.

That’s also why we launched Wave Code with a different model:

Watch an ad → keep coding. 🚀

No worrying about how quickly your subscription quota is disappearing just because the model pricing changed.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

The compute explanation may be frustrating, but honestly, this is exactly why we launched Wave Code.

Not everyone can—or wants to—pay $100–$200/month just to get more breathing room.

Watch an ad → help pay for the compute → keep coding. 🚀

And if you can afford the expensive plans and don't want ads, that's fine too. But there should be an option for everyone.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@Zyeine_Art @OpenAI If you can afford $100–$200/month for AI subscriptions, you probably never need to watch an ad.
But not everyone can—or wants to—spend that much just to keep coding.
Ads paying for compute gives those users another option. Think about them too. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

Fair from a compute-management perspective, but the 5h window is still frustrating when you’re in the middle of a long coding session.

That’s exactly why we launched Wave Code:

Watch an ad → keep coding. 🚀

Instead of paying $100–$200 just for more breathing room, ads help power your coding agent.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Tomorrow we will bring back the 5h limit for Plus accounts across ChatGPT Work and Codex. I had mentioned this a while ago, but then postponed it.

This is necessary as (a) the 5h limit allows us to smoothen the load on our compute, allowing to keep the plan generous in terms of weekly usage and (b) users on the Plus plan are relatively casual and new users, but then also just accidentally eat through their whole weeks usage and then are confused, making it not a great experience.

We are for the upcoming months keeping the 5h limit not enabled for Pro $100 and Pro $200 subscriptions.

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@icanvardar 😂 Same pain.

The whole point of an AI coding agent is to keep you moving — not have you staring at a progress bar.

That’s exactly what we’re aiming for with Wave Code:

Watch ads → keep coding → keep the agent running. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@kloss_xyz This is exactly the problem we’re trying to solve with Wave Code.

If even $100/month plans are hitting limits every day, developers need a different model — not another expensive tier.

$0 → watch ads → keep coding. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@devNimi Exactly. The interesting part isn’t just the 5h cap — it’s who gets the cap.

If compute is the concern, the difference between Plus and $100/$200 Pro tells you a lot.

That’s why Wave Code is taking a different approach:

$0 → watch ads → keep coding. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@gailcweiner Or just give the “plebs” another option. 😂

Wave Code: $0 subscription → watch ads → keep coding.

Frontier models shouldn’t have to mean a $100–$200/month subscription. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@hunoematic 😂 Calling long-time Plus users “new and casual users” definitely feels wild.

But honestly, this is exactly why Wave Code exists.

Instead of upgrading from $20 → $100–$200 just to get more breathing room:

$0 → watch ads → keep coding. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@aibuilderclub_ And this is exactly the problem we’re trying to solve with Wave Code. 👀

Why should you have to choose between a 5-hour limit on Plus or paying $100–$200/month for more breathing room?

$0 subscription → watch ads → keep coding. 🚀

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

Be honest: which one are you choosing? 👀

💸 $20 subscription → hit the 5-hour limit → wait.

💸💸$100 subscription → hit the weekly limit → wait.

🆓 $0 subscription → watch a few ads → keep your coding agent running.

Which one are you picking? 👇

[Wave Code @trywavecode]

@yistar04 😂 That’s exactly the question everyone is asking.

If avoiding the 5-hour limit means upgrading to Pro, there should be another option.

That’s what we’re building with Wave Code:

Watch ads → keep coding. 🚀

No forced $100–$200 upgrade just to get more breathing room.
