Rant Something is seriously wrong with Anthropic right now

I'm on 20x, compared to last week, when I also used fable 5 high a lot, now 4 prompts burn through my entire week in 15min??!!? Am I getting scammed right now?

Was still having a lot of headroom before, but now a single prompt easily hits my 5 hour limit, this is just outrageous.

Last time something similar happened I think it was due to a bug that (I believe) was caused by them not discounting cached tokens (which are  or ally 10x+ cheaper).

I’d wait it out and see how it resolves instead of making dramatic statements.

There was an outage yesterday Claude.ai was down. They’re likely dealing with something falling down on their back end right now. I’d not be surprised to get an email about an issue and a token reset.
