Xbox's cloud gaming hourly limit rates have been met with derision in the fanbase, and have highlighted gaps between other services.

Full title: Microsoft’s recent decisions paint a clear picture — Xbox Cloud Gaming is no longer the future the company once promised. “I was recently told by Microsoft figures that, given compute demands for AI, Xbox Cloud Gaming is effectively losing money when used beyond 15 hours per month.”

    Everyone mad that Microsoft limits the Cloud usage on XBOX. I am however grateful for this and happy. Not because I think Cloud gaming would be bad, it clearly can be useful in some cases. More options to have for the end user is better. However I’m glad the new change of cost for end user, so that this will not become a high priority XBOX relies on. This is actually good news!
