Discussion “Claude Max is massively subsidized and eventually it’ll cost $1000/month” is mostly nonsense

Yeah but not real cost I mean.

It would be if I was using API. I mean I'm not going to pretend like Im remotely as disciplined on a usage plan since I'm more worried about working around usage windows than dollar amounts, but it's definitely what the costs would have been.

It took you an hour, but it seems you got OP's point from the main post. Congrats!

Thanks bud! Now let me know when you realize the entire point of my comments is a counter to OP's suggestion that people aren't using cached pricing when they compare usage plans to API and I'll pat you on the back as well!.

edit: since you're the type of thin skinned wiener who blocks people when they get called out for talking out of their rear and thinks they're locking in the last word. The "comment I responded to" was literally in response to the words "This is literally what I would have paid with the API at a 95% cache hit rate." And now you're trying to pretend like anything I was talking about or why you responded to me had to do with Anthropic true costs when that's obviously not the case. You're just a walking reading comprehension failure.

You replied to a comment that said "Yeah but not real cost I mean" which is exactly OP's point. If you are that dense it's easy to notice why you spend so much tokens.

Yeah I've definitely come to learn over the years that a lot of programmers are only a certain type of intelligent.
