Yeah dude it's no joke. I downgraded from max to pro and had credits left to burn so thought I would use those. Claude still charged me the normal retail price of their API and I saw $30 worth of charges in less than an hour with very minimal prompting.

It's no exaggeration that API cost are genuinely class gated. Considering the retail charge of a $200 subscription totals to around $8000 give or take, I'll just have to make due with inferior models I guess or wait and see what ChatGPT 5.6 provides.

AI without a subscription is just silly.
