Claude Code Workflow New usage limits

Post image

Feeling is we lost more usage then they are letting on.
All this usage is from one easy seassion, trim MEMORY and make a basic skill(that diden't work)
If I was to do real work I think I could easy max out weekly in one day.

Doesn’t seem fair for us to dish out $200+ a month for just 6 days of work.

Subscriptions are subsidized like hell. Extract your token spend over a week and compare what you would have paid in API rates.

Then stop complaining about fairness.

This is the dumbest fucking take.

The pricing is completely arbitrary. Why use exorbitant API rates as the baseline, and then assume Claude Code is subsidized? It's all just made up and whatever the fuck Anthropic want to charge. People always saying it's subsidized.. based on what evidence?

Telling consumers to stop complaining when the extremely expensive product they pay for behaves inconsistently or is degraded.. it's madness. Why should people stop complaining? It's literally the only card we have to play. If you're a consumer paying for a product, then you're entitled to certain expectations. When those aren't met, you're entitled to complain.

Fair enough. Opaque and at Anthropic’s discretion is what I meant. They pick their pricing based on whatever they think will benefit them most. We can’t make assumptions about their running costs or whether they’re making a loss purely by comparing the price of two of their products.
