This would put anthropic in the business of minimizing the context to increase profits, same as Cursor and others who cheap out on context and try to RAG etc. Which would quickly make it worse, so I hope they stay on api pricing

Some base usage included in the plan might be a good balance

You know, I wouldn't mind if they just applied the API pricing after Claude Code ran through the plan limits.

It would definitely get me to use it more.

But the Claude Pro plan is almost certainly priced under the assumption that some users will use it below the usage limit.

If everyone used the plan to the limit, the plan would cost the same as the API with usage equal to the limit.

Claude Code and Claude.ai are separate products.
