APPLE CREATOR STUDIO AI USAGE LIMITS SEEM DRAMATICALLY LOWER THAN PROMISED

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Developer Steve Troughton-Smith found that creating a single AI-generated Keynote presentation consumed 47% of his monthly Apple Creator Studio limit—far from the “50 presentations per month” Apple suggested—meaning he could realistically make only two, while building an entire app with Xcode's Codex used just 7% of his weekly allowance. The stark contrast, also highlighted by John Gruber, raises questions about how Apple calculates AI usage across tools and whether the advertised limits reflect real-world use.
