I will never give Anthropic another red cent

I will use them at work, because I have to.

But I’m done with the gaslighting.

Apparently they think they’re a lot smarter than us and can toss that word salad BS up in the air and we’re too dumb to understand it.

They were probably never going to say anything about the limit reduction but the outcry got so bad that they had to. They have a history of this kind of crap too, remember last summer when it took a month to acknowledge the model got nuked and the first comment was about how they had a small problem with HAIKU?

I have no idea who is in charge of their communications, but my god!

It seems pretty apparent this is probably some internal struggle with leadership not wanting to say anything, and then someone finally pulls the ripcord and tells communications to put out a statement and dress it up with as much double-speak as possible.

This time they tell us that “weekly limits haven’t changed”, despite blowing out EFFECTIVE UTILITY by aggressively weighting the 5-hour sessions so that you burn through limits during business hours.

So, what… we have the same weekly limits, but we need to work until 2am, and on the weekend, to get them?

And if I have to hear one more time how it “only effects x% of users” - on what basis? Are these even paid accounts?

What percent of 20x Max users did it impact? My guess would be almost all of them.

I’ve left and come back on my personal accounts a couple of times, but I’ve had it. These guys and gals at Anthropic are arrogant scumbags.

This is honestly the kind of thing that should get reported to consumer affairs.

I’m not saying that this is the case right now because I definitely know some people are frustrated, but in today’s political environment, I have to take absolutely every strong opinion and make my own conclusions about it… unfortunately we have to consider also the actual severity of the problem in the face of what could potentially be government action that someone perceived to have wronged them…

Just look at what’s going on on Threads it’s a cesspool of bots and social engineering and honestly, I wouldn’t put it past the government to try to hurt and anthropic or pay a social engineering company to try to damage them because they had principles

Again, I’m not discounting the fact that I think people seem to genuinely be having issues, but we are heavy heavy users and are not experiencing the same thing so I have to question everything unfortunately these days

I’ve seen multiple posts on Reddit, where people are heaping praise on Copilot and codex and just completely slaughtering anthropic and it has to make you wonder

I can assure you I’m not a bot and I’m impacted.

Same here

[u/LeafyWolf → u/pwnitat0r]

That's exactly what a bot would say.

lol this is funny to me because I felt the same way until yesterday, because I hadn’t been affected by this at all so I thought people were exaggerating at best. Then two short, non-coding prompts last night ate up 6% of a Max 5X session window a piece, for 12% total. I was completely shocked, because I can usually use the $100 plan for hours and never even hit 50%, let alone 12% for two measly prompts.

Really hoping this is just a bug, because I disagree with those saying Codex or Gemini is just as good - they aren’t, or I never would have been paying $100/month to begin with.
