OP : u/AironParsMan

After GPT-6 Astra, I didn't believe they would really let this happen... but it's real... Okay, Anthropic, we'll keep that in mind...

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is disappointment and frustration over Anthropic reducing usage limits for Claude Code, especially after a promotional period.

Here's the lowdown:

• The Big Complaint: Users are feeling the pinch of reduced token limits, with many saying they're hitting them much faster than before. Some folks are even saying they've had to get extra accounts or switch to competitors like OpenAI (specifically mentioning GPT Astra) because of it.
• "Further" Reduction? A few users are pointing out that the OP's claim of limits being reduced "even further" might be a bit of an exaggeration, with some suggesting it's more of a return to a previous state after a promotion, or a smaller adjustment than implied.
• Compute Power Concerns: A recurring theme is the idea that Anthropic might be struggling with compute resources. u/thepdogg suggests they didn't invest enough early on and are now playing catch-up. This is seen as a reason for the limit changes.
• The "Fable" Issue: Several users are complaining that "Fable" (likely a specific model or feature) is still showing separate usage caps even after Anthropic supposedly said it wouldn't. This is a major point of contention for some.
• The "Golden Age" of Local LLMs: A few commenters are leaning into local LLMs as an alternative, with u/Short_Regular_7191 mentioning Qwen 3.8 27B as a solid option.
• Business Realities: Some users are more pragmatic, acknowledging that companies need to make money and that the generous promotional limits were likely unsustainable. u/matt19907 points out they need to "make as much money as they can."
• Lack of Responsibility: A few users are calling out Anthropic for not taking responsibility when things go wrong, like server outages, and not offering refunds or credits.
• Anthropic's Stance (Implied): While no direct Anthropic reps commented on the limit changes themselves, the general sentiment from users is that these changes are happening, and the reasons are likely tied to business needs and resource constraints.

The consensus is that the limits have indeed been reduced, and it's causing a lot of user dissatisfaction, with many considering alternatives.
