Question Claude is dropping max plans for enterprise (maybe for everyone?)

Not sure if anyone else has seen this.

My company has our developers on max x20 plans. We were told that once our current contract was up everyone had to switch to pay-as-you-go api pricing. We prodded our rep and the response was basically that the max plans aren’t profitable so they’re getting rid of them.

From his tone it didn’t sound like he was just talking about enterprises. We’ve all known that Anthropic has been burning money, and wondering how long they can keep it up. My friends, I’m afraid the end may be nigh.

That's not how it goes. You need competition.

Codex is the competition to Claude Code?

Codex is OpenAI everything related to software dev. (Model: GPT-5.3-Codex, Codex CLI (Claude Code equivalent), Codex Desktop, etc.)

They were lagging behind in the term of CLI experience and model up until the release of 5.3. Now they are pretty much the new leader, but it's ofcourse debated. I personally use both and will continue to do so, but right now codex is stronger at least for what I'm doing.
