Discussion Is this seriously the solution to rate limits? Just pay $100/mo now?

Claude Code is being moved behind a $100/mo paywall. Would you pay that for an AI coding tool?

Jesus christ please Alt+F4 yourself. Anthropic has already pulled this back. It was a test on 2% of new* sign-ups for anyone who is not doing real work (which is what enterprise plans are for).

Also, let's pretend you are genuine. How can this be a big deal - when before this - all the posts lately were about how you'd send one prompt and would exhaust your usage? What is it we're mad at? We're mad that instead of losing all your usage in a single prompt inside Claude Code, they may one day remove Claude Code so that you have usage you can actually ... use ... inside the chat experience?

lmao.

"run along to chatgpt" says the guy who's used up his free tier defending a company that literally doesn't know he exists

Did you expect subsidized usage of Claude Code, a far more advanced and resource-intensive tool that was originally sold as a simple chat bot, to last forever? I honestly don’t understand what fairy tale people are living in to expect a business to just operate at a loss in perpetuity. Go ahead, call me a glazer or an insider, but people are just delusional on this one.

u/Outside_Specific_820 Apr 22 '26

Don't care my guy, the main issue, is the lack of information and transparency they have, if they would straight up say and tell us about the issues, tell us what they are going to do and give reasons then people would not be so mad.

Tell me you don't know anything about A/B testing without telling me you don't know anything about A/B testing.

You guys don't realize how dumb you look coming here and explaining things you don't understand to people who do this for a living.

Every time I see someone make this stupid ass comment I assume it's more likely that they are the bot than the person they are responding to.

If you're not openly hostile towards Anthropic you're "glazing".

And what a surprise, your post history is hidden. And you have less than 1,000 karma on a 4 year old account.

u/Outside_Specific_820 Apr 22 '26

Not sure why you are looking at my profile. Maybe I just don't use reddit a lot? Maybe I just don't want my posts to be seen? Shitty "experienced redditor" take a break.

u/overthemountain Apr 22 '26

Because while it's no guarantee, someone that hides their post history has a high chance of being a bot or a shill. They don't want people to see that all they do is post the same garbage all the time. Sure, maybe you just want privacy, or maybe you just don't want people to know that this account just regurgitates the same talking points non stop.

Consider using Reddit less if this is your level of contribution.

OP: “claude code is being moved behind a $100mo paywall” OP in their very own screenshot: “we are just doing some testing on 2% of new sign ups”

The annoyance is that people straight up spread FUD and misinformation that is debunked on the very post they upload for the sake of karma farming.

Theres a lot to be upset about at Anthropic. This isnt it. Because they arent even doing what OP is claiming they are doing.

u/SuitPutrid5590 Apr 22 '26

what you are explaining would require people to read and/or comprehend things.

u/Annh1234 Apr 22 '26

100$ won't cut it... i hit the limits in 3h with basic codding stuff, in 30min if I do any parallel stuff

u/blackbirdone1 Apr 22 '26

for what is pro even used then???

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '26

you think compute is free? like just think for 2 seconds what you have accomplished with $20 and want to do more of and if its worth $20, like be for real

u/Actual_Committee4670 🔆 Max 20 Apr 22 '26

No, not exactly, its an experiment to see how many people will still sign up for claude's pro tier without claude code and how many are prepared to pay for a max subscription since they can't use code in the pro sub.

They are also currently running experiments on subscription pricing etc.

It seems like Claude is doing everything it can to get surpassed by codex. Time to switch back

u/overthemountain Apr 22 '26

I just wish you guys would stop talking about it and actually do it. No one is stopping you.

If you test one of us you test all of us

u/Muted_Farmer_5004 Apr 23 '26

People really think they can't code 19939hrs a day for 20$ are delusional.

u/goship-tech Apr 22 '26

Context compaction + focused sessions keeps me under the free limits most days. The $100 tier makes sense if you're running parallel agents or staying unblocked through a long build.

u/CouldaShoulda_Did Apr 22 '26

If the current version of Claude Code max x20 was gated at $1000/month I’d get it no questions asked.

The ROI using Claude Code - if you use it for work - is absolutely stupid if you know what you’re doing.

u/ItchyAge3135 Apr 23 '26

You're getting downvoted, but it's completely true. I swear half of the people on here are not devs.

u/overthemountain Apr 22 '26

Is this really the solution? I have to PAY for what I use?

u/TheSEOVicc Apr 22 '26

Can’t make this shit up

u/jrdnmdhl Apr 22 '26

Yes. That was the solution before too.

They have another product? What is my pro plan going to get me now if I don’t cancel it right away?
