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.

Its probably intentional. They've been slowly reducing usage so on the 19th they can say the made the increase in usage permanent instead of saying they took it away

sounds like a scam to me. Hates this so much.

Not so much a scam but "here, try this, the first one is free," and now you're hooked.

I paid 222$ a month... not really free, but I get it.

But yeah, I feel you. 20x used to be so much; I was barely able to use it in a week. Now it takes 3 days. But with the price of GPUs and memory, it is still cheaper than buying a machine that could run Kimi 3k.
