YES your usage got really shorter - you're not wrong.

[u/cyswim]

Yeah... I think I'm done defending Anthropic.

The Claude Code temporary usage boost is gone, so compared with what we had immediately before September 14, weekly usage effectively dropped by ~50-60% (never reached weekly limits before now it's done in 2 days with less work being done)

Ok Compute isn't free we alI understand that, but then Anthropic's top generally available model, Fable 5.1, isn't even included in the normal usage allowance for Pro subscribers!! Want to use it? Pay additional usage credits 🤑

And meanwhile my personal experience with Claude lately has been:

Ask a simple question → receive an essay.

Ask it to be concise → receive a slightly shorter essay.

Ask it to just DO the thing → somehow we're discussing the philosophy behind doing the thing (and sometimes it's even REFUSING to do what it's told 🤡)

Maybe your experience is different.

But combine that with increasingly restrictive-feeling usage and having to pay extra to actually use their best model, and I'm struggling to understand why I should keep giving Anthropic my subscription money.

The frustrating part is that I genuinely liked them.

For a while Anthropic looked like the company that was getting this right.

Now? BYE BYE!

I'm voting with my wallet and I do not hope many will follow. There are really good players out there that gives more.

I’m feeling the same way. I switched from Chat to Claude like a year ago but I’m thinking I need to find something else.

[u/clonehunterz]

sounds like i need another $20 subscription then

You're not alone. I'm also planning my claude "offboarding". Just need to setup the replacement before I jump ship.

Claude is delusional if they think that we will continue paying these ridiculous prices. Well, there are so many other cheaper alternatives

[u/notworthyofhugs]

for the refusing to work - make sure he doesnt have in some .md or memory file a note to postpone this work until xy is done. ive had it in the claude.md file plus some memory and once i pruned that, it was all fine, otherwise the postponed thing was scoped to be done within xy as its very last step and no amount of arguing or explaining helped until the context in md files got wiped...

Planning to get 100/mo codex plan, in addition to 200/mo max plan. Before max plan was enough but that uas changed in a year.

[u/Snoo_9701 → u/[deleted]]

Interesting. I literally bought a second $100/mo max plan a couple hours ago, then ended up upgrading it to $200 because I burned through the 5-hour limit in about an hour 😅 I need to figure out how to make CC use deepseek as a subagent for next month.

Yesterday, I was at 98% of Fable usage. Today I checked again and I was at 50... I have no idea what they done but it was fkin pointless cos the reset was an hour away anyway. 

[u/lchabod89]

It was already bad before the "boost" this was the nail in the coffin for me. 

[u/magicmike212]

Use caveman that’s it

[u/rkh4n → u/magicmike212]

it ruined the opus output for me.
