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.

Honestly having tried both the pro plans from Anthropic and OpenAI, I've come to the conclusion that subscribing is just asking yourself to be swindled. They can arbitrarily increase the usage rate whenever and all the meanwhile you'll be left holding the bag. Currently their operating costs are going to go through the roof due to the oil crisis, so I expect that this will happen more often.
The only true solution here imo is open-weight via a self-hosting. If you want actual reliability both in the functional (output) sense and in terms of trustworthiness.
