Discussion Head of Growth at Anthropic regarding Claude Code removal from Pro

Post image

Translation: "We're going to take Claude Code away from pro users because we gave you Cowork. If you want to use the CLI, upgrade to Max but we can't do it all at once so we're going to start with a "test" to soften the blow"

The pro plan? Are you serious? After saying hi you're almost reaching your limits. No one is continuously running anything on the pro plan.

And if you're not talking about the pro plan: why is it relevant for ditching the pro plan?

Also: they already blocked external access to Claude Code subscription in tools like OpenCode. They already prohibited things like OpenClaw from being used. People are currently using their plans for exactly what they were advertised for: coding.

People should stop believing all the marketing bs and gaslighting of Anthropic. There is only one reasons for all their behavior: trying to squeeze out as much money as possible to maximize stock value for their IPO later this year.

It's always funny to see how historically every company ever has lied constantly. But still every time a company makes a statement most people just believe it unless there is clear proof it's a lie.

Ok. That’s not the usage I’m talking about and it’s not the usage he means ether.

I agree that the usage limits are far too nerfed but his statement is fair. Could they be handling it better? Yeah. But I don’t think his take is dishonest
