That’s not the same at all. That’s a personalized plan based on your usage but smoothed out over the year for predictable bills, in contrast with Claude/openai’s uniform $20/$200/mo plans. You can’t use as much electricity as you want in that PGE plan. You still pay for what you use.
If everyone’s usage was above the set rate they would include rate limits which is literally a usage limit, which they have proven to do.
So no in fact you do get X tokens for 20 dollars and off your usage is too high they would absolutely put a stop to that. It wouldn’t even surprise me if they have per customer rate limits.
Where is the distinction here, it isn’t an unlimited plan, the limit just isn’t communicated.
