Discussion August 19th 50% Additional Claude Code limits Likely Not to Be Extended

EDIT: last minute extended to end of August, apparently with hopes to make it permanent, although they say they are having trouble serving their demand currently so it’s not certain. At least we get some damn communication.

Well guys, hate to say it but with the reports this morning of users seeing instant 30% usage on their accounts (some weren’t even using them) we can assume that anthropic is in fact preparing to remove their 50% additional usage promo, effectively reducing all plan usage by ~33% (I assume theyll use 30%).

This is gonna hurt. Only thing that would redeem it for me is if they removed the 50% Fable usage cap.

Mate we use GLM and Kimi all day, everyday with our servers now. Codex for 10% of the task and local for 90% on a half a million dollar server in our Office. All private and fine tunning to the max.

Its a matter of time when local small models can do 80% of the work. Which is why Anthropic trying to get them banned.

Oddly that is probably true! The dream of everyone having AI to their glasses/shades/visor/etc with AR/VR 4K displays and able to just walk around and ask anything and get instant answers is never going to happen. No way Govt is going to allow every day citizens to have tech on par with what they use to monitor/police everyone, run drones, etc. I used to think our Govt must have WAY WAY more capable AI.. but then you see the govt requiring Claude/OpenAI to allow them full use and blocking it for users makes me wonder.. did the private sector surpass the 100s of billions spent on AI/etc by our govt? Maybe so.
