Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage

I wish people would pay more attention to:

* Anthropic is in some way trying to run a business (not a charity) and at least (eventually?) make money and not subsidize usage forever

* "What a steal/good deal" the $100-$200/mo plans are compared to if they had to pay for raw API usage

and less on "how dare you reserve the right to tweak the generous usage patterns you open-ended-ly gave us, we are owed something!"

As an (ex) paying customer, I'm expecting some consistency. I used to be satisfied with the value I got, until the limits changed overnight, and I'd get a ten of my previous usage.

If Anthropic is allowed to alter the deal whenever, then I'd expect to be able to get my money back, pro-rata, no questions asked.

All those apply to OpenAI+Codex too, but they're far more generous with limits than Anthropic, and with granting fresh limits to apologize when they fuck up.

Wow. You really DID welcome your corporate overlords, didn't you?

yes, $200/mo is a serious subscription, we are owed something, and I won't feel ashamed for saying that

especially when you are told using the subagent for code review "claude -p" is now billed on API on top of $200 sub
