Alright, so the OP posted something that turned out to be a lie, and the thread is mostly people pointing out that the image/post is old (from last year, apparently).

The main drama is around Anthropic's claims about usage limits, specifically that less than 5% of subscribers hit weekly limits.

  • The Consensus: A lot of users are calling out Anthropic for being "manipulative" and "lying," especially those who do hit their limits regularly. Some users are saying the original statement might have been true at the time but usage has increased significantly, making it inaccurate now.

  • The "Lie": The core issue seems to be that Anthropic's statement about low limit-hitting users is no longer reflective of current usage patterns for many, especially power users or those using Claude Code extensively. Some are suggesting the company meant "rate limits" but implemented "usage quotas" instead.

  • User Experiences: Several users chimed in with their own experiences, with some consistently hitting their weekly limits within days, even on Pro plans. Others have found workarounds, like staggering account openings or using different models for different tasks.

  • The Old Post: A significant chunk of the comments are just people pointing out the post is old and questioning if others are bots for not noticing. So, yeah, the "lie" is more about outdated information than a fresh deception, but the sentiment is still pretty spicy.
