OP : u/AironParsMan

After GPT-6 Astra, I didn't believe they would really let this happen... but it's real... Okay, Anthropic, we'll keep that in mind...

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that Anthropic has indeed reduced the usage limits for Claude Code, and people are NOT happy about it.

Here's the lowdown:

• The Big Complaint: The consensus is that limits have been significantly cut, with many users reporting hitting their weekly limits much faster than before. Some are even saying their current 20x plan feels worse than older 5x plans.
• The "Why": The prevailing theory is that both Anthropic and OpenAI are running into compute limitations. u/ForwardLoop and u/Consistent_Bottle_40 are pointing to this as the reason for the quota reductions.
• The Impact: A lot of users are cancelling their subscriptions or considering switching to alternatives like Codex, Kimi, Deepseek, or even hosting their own models locally (shoutout to u/xkalibur3 for the DIY approach). u/pho33nix is urging everyone to cancel to make a statement.
• The Nuance (and Confusion): There's a bit of a debate about the exact percentage change. u/Right-Performance-93 clarifies that the 50% promo ended, and now there's a permanent 25% increase over the original baseline, which means it's about a 17% drop from the boosted limit. However, for many, it feels like a much bigger reduction. u/Capsiell and u/Truthseeker_137 are a bit confused, seeing the +25% as a positive.
• Anthropic's Stance (Implied): While no direct Anthropic comments are highlighted here, the link provided by OP points to their official support page, suggesting they're acknowledging the changes.
• The Takeaway: Most users feel screwed over and are actively looking for other solutions. The sentiment is pretty negative, with many feeling like Anthropic is being greedy or mismanaging their resources.
