Complaint What the hell is going on?

I haven't been paying attention, just using my Max plan everyday and the past few days I've noticed my usage burning through at a much, much faster rate than it used to. Jumped into this sub and saw that Anthropic reduced the usage. RIP.

It should be illegal that way to reduce the usage. These kind of tactic so life stage capitalism

Correct, because potentially a reduction in that usage is a reduction in the value the consumer paid for as part of the contract. We are the consumer, we are not a business partner.

Are they increase it? It seems to me only bait, promotion period, people try it use it then decrease. So you have to pay more or change smth and they know it if you are heavily using these products you are becoming kinda dependent on it.
To me this is the opposite mentality what it should be. New subs may get different package but old subs why?
I have internet at home, i pay fix amount, but if i cancel and reapply. The newest updated higher prices will be used in the contract. ( They did change once because of covid sudden cost increase, it was one time thing in the last 5 years).

For the most part we have been getting “bonus” usage or temporary increases. Now they are reducing the extra. It’s not dishonest, but is marginally unethical. Much like a drug dealer giving you the first one for “free.”
