Why?

It seems just fine to me. This is what Anthropic needs to do if they want to survive. I'm always looking out for someone to integrate an actually good harness to a good model. Once that happens, I'm jumping ship if Anthropic keeps playing these tricks.

It's almost unusable for me now. A simple prompt to merge 3 sub-100-line files with simple node code, on Sonnet 4.6, uses up 20% of my 5 hour quota, on a new/fresh session.

To be fair, my comment was a bit harsher before the update. The way they handle the development, communication and how they treat customers isn't fine. I've seen some angry people post and comment in manners which truly deserved the label hostile.

The whole product with the infrastructure and Claude Code's code appear to be vibe coded.

If they can’t infrastructure then perhaps they should offer the ability for customers to host themselves.
