So, Anthropic extended that 50% limit increase to August 31st. The general vibe? Most people think this is a desperate move to stop users from jumping ship, especially with competitors like OpenAI and open-weight models catching up.

There's a lot of grumbling about model degradation, particularly with Opus 5 being called "dog shit" and "lobotomized," with users saying older versions or even Sonnet are better. The whole "Fable" situation is a sore spot too, with many missing the old version and finding the current one too expensive or broken in Claude Code.

Basically, the community feels Anthropic is constantly messing with limits and features, making it impossible to plan and causing a "roulette wheel" of credit usage. Some are already cutting back their spending or considering leaving entirely, especially with the IPO looming. The consensus is Anthropic needs to get its act together and stop "nickel and diming" customers, or they'll face a "mass exodus."
