If you are expecting any sort of usable limits on their subscription plan I suggest adjusting your expectations. I subscribed to $99 a month plan and within 47 minutes with one session (not asking for swarms or anything) was limited by 5-hour quota.

Paying $200 a month and part of their Cyber Verification Program but can't use Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5 for any authorized bounty work. Immediately get flagged for `Cyber`.

This is bollocks. Their safeguards are shit.

Re:Strands Harness on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @11:45AM (#49817858)
I am increasingly hesitant to use non-native harnesses - model providers are now starting to train their agents for use within the harness. An eval like terminal bench can only capture so much data. I don't want to have to assess each harness every model release to make sure it's working as well as it can.

They killed cyber capabilities so I have to move over to Daybreak on Codex.
Don't remove the cameras - make sure they're used legally and bad apples don't ruin a good thing:

Four different places, four different children rescued by use of Flock cameras.

@boris and anthropic in general are incredibly hostile to the rest of the development world. They think their shit doesn’t stink.

I really liked the contributor model in their harness. I suspect that another harness would fail hard like you're seeing.
Re:Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2 on Thursday August 06, 2026 @01:19PM (#49199575)
Pointing out for others: without warning I was restricted from using the contributor model because of “policy violations”. I was working on Kaggle research and some Apple Security work at the time. They really need to make cyber a first priority product feature.

`model failed: API error 403 [request_id=27ef1dee-6366-4779-9057-ed7c27686fa9]: Your access has been restricted due to repeated policy violations. (permission_error)`

I've switched over to Codex. On Extra High reasoning it seems very capable and is definitely catching mistakes Sonnet has missed. I'd love to move back to Opus but at this time it is untenable.

Tell HN: Opus 4.6/4.7 cyber policy changes break authorized bug bounty workflows

As of today, Anthropic's tightened cyber usage filters are blocking work that was fully functional yesterday, including on targets where the entire bounty program scope and authorization language is in the model's context window. This was announced during the Opus 4.7 release (https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-7) but is retroactive on Opus 4.6 as well.I have ~15 in-progress...

I am absolutely moving off them if this continues to be the case.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @12:02PM (#47795381)
This was Opus saying that after reviewing the [REDACTED] bug bounty program guidelines and having them in context.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:46AM (#47795056)
Incredible - in one fell swoop killing my entire use case for Claude.

I have about 15 submissions that I now need to work with Codex on cause this "smarter" model refuses to read program guidelines and take them seriously.

This is gonna kill everything I've been working on. I have several reproduced items at [REDACTED] that I've been working on.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:38AM (#47794908)
They've increased their cybersecurity usage filters to the point that Opus 4.7 refuses to work on any valid work, even after acknowledging "This is authorized research under the [Redacted] Bounty program, so the findings here are defensive research outputs, not malware. I'll analyze and draft, not weaponize anything beyond what's needed to prove the bug to [Redacted].

I will immediately switch over to Codex if this continues to be an issue. I am new to security research, have been paid out on several bugs, but don't have a CVE or public talk so they are ready to cut me out already.

Welfare, defense, interest on debt. That’s it.
Probably not in scope but maybe https://bugcrowd.com/engagements/cloudinary will care?

This is bad.

Re:Google AI Ultra on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @03:15PM (#44044875)
I’m not interested in about 75% of this offering. Really wish they had pieced this out or done a credit system for it all. I want higher coding and LLM limits, Deep Think, and would like to try agent stuff, but don’t care at all about image or video generation, Notebook limits, YouTube Premium, or more storage.

$250 is a the highest cost AI sub now. Not loving this direction.
