For years I bounced between hard blockers (cold-turkey, leechblock, hosts file) and nothing at all. Hard blockers always ended the same way — I'd get annoyed, disable them, and then not turn them back on for weeks.

The thing that actually changed my behavior wasn't a stronger wall. It was a delay. A few seconds of "are you sure" between the muscle-memory keystroke and the dopamine. Long enough that the autopilot breaks and I notice I'm not actually here for a reason.

Most of the time, when I notice, I just close the tab.

Curious whether others here have landed on the same thing, or if friction-based approaches have failed for you and walls worked better. What's the mechanism that actually does it?

I've been on the max plan for about 4 days now.

And I don't understand how people get fill their usage within the 5h or weekly rolling time-window.

So.
People with max plan that manage to run out of credits.

How do you do it?
