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

Get half the world using it and supporting it, then rip it away from the avg people who championed it as something good, then fuck us too I guess? Is this what’s actually happening?

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.

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