The last time I checked there was a daily request limit, still generous but limiting for some use cases. Isn't it still the case?

Providing an unlimited free tier would be a terrible business decision for them.

Of course. My point is, probably a super cheap LLM that does not cut you off after 1500th API request of the day is preferred over the free model that does so, at least for certain use cases.
