Do you care about this?
Apple promised users of the Creator Studio subscription that they could create 50 Keynote presentations per month. However, a developer found that a single presentation used nearly half of his monthly AI usage limit, allowing for only two presentations instead. This stark difference raises concerns about the accuracy of Apple's initial claims.

Apple's Creator Studio (ACS) subscription promised users the ability to create 50 Keynote presentations per month using its AI features. However, developer Steve Troughton-Smith discovered that the reality fell far short of this claim. He found that a single Keynote presentation consumed 47% of his monthly usage limit, leaving him with enough allowance for only two presentations instead of the advertised fifty.
In contrast, Troughton-Smith highlighted the effectiveness of Xcode's Codex support, which allowed him to build an entire app without manually writing any code. He noted that this app used only 7% of his weekly Codex limit. The stark difference between the AI usage in Xcode and ACS raised questions about Apple's promises regarding its Creator Studio. Users had previously been led to believe they could produce multiple presentations easily, but the actual experience suggests a significant discrepancy in what was marketed versus what is delivered.
For those interested in tracking their own AI usage within Apple apps, instructions are provided for checking limits on both Mac and iOS devices. Users are encouraged to share their experiences and usage stats in the comments, creating a community around these limitations.
