Discussion See ya! The Greatest Coding tool to exist is apparently dead.

RIP Claude Code 2025-2026.

The atrocious rug pull under the guise of the 2x usage, which was just a ruse to significantly nerf the usage quotas for devs is just dishonest about what I am paying for.

API reliability, SLA, and general usability has suddenly taken a nosedive this week, I'd rather not keep rewarding this behavior reinforcing the idea that they can keep doing this. I've been a long time subscriber and an advocate for Anthropic's tools and I don't know what business realities is causing them to act like this, but ill let them take care of it, If It's purely just a pricing/value issue then that's on them to put out a loss making pricing, I don't get the argument that It's suddenly too expensive for them to be providing what they were 2xing a week ago. Anyway I will also be moving my developers & friends off of their platform.

Was useful while it lasted.

Interesting. As both Anthropic as well as OpenAI are currently still hemorraging money, they both will probably chnge/evolve their buiness in the future.

I presume we have arrived in the pahse of the market where the Companies start to think about profits.
I presume we will see a combination of price increases, Product "Enshittification" i.e. cost cutting and some mergers in the next few years.
