I think the main issue is power users, as long as power users are subsidized by enough paid subscribers then they won't go away. People are paying for subscriptions but not using them 24/7, that's why they want to push power users to non-peak hours like nights and weekends when the platform is more idle.

Personally, I rather see them force Max x5 and x20 users into non-peak meaning cap our usage more during peak hours and give us more tokens to burn in non-peak IF it keeps them from cutting off our paid subscriptions.
