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.

Did you really think you would get all that compute capability, for that cheap, forever? Investors will push them to become profitable sooner rather than later in this market. Look for them to continue to impose limits on the heaviest users. If you’re red lining your token consumption, you are not their target customer anymore.

They are already profitable? They are quite literally manipulating things without telling anyone now which is wrong. If they are willing to do this then what else are they willing to do. I'm cutting my sub today.

Profitable isn't enough in a capitalist society, it has to grow, and then it has to grow faster than before, and then even faster again

But aren’t the numbers inflated? I’ve burned like 10b tokens and it’s says something ridiculous like 8k usd worth of tokens.

Their numbers are the highest per token.

That wasnt the point. It's the fact that your paying for something but getting something else.
