I'm not a fan of usage caps either, but that Reddit post [1] (“You deserve harsh limits”) does highlight a perspective worth considering.

When some users burn massive amounts of compute just to climb leaderboards or farm karma, it’s not hard to imagine why providers might respond with tighter limits—not because it's ideal, but because that kind of behavior makes platforms harder to sustain and less accessible for everyone else. Because on the other hand a lot of genuine customers are canceling because they get API overload message after paying $200.

I still think caps are frustrating and often too blunt, but posts like that make it easier to see where the pressure might be coming from.

lets not blame shift anthropic bait and switch to 'bad users' .

Surely they thought about 'bad users' when they released this product. They can't be that naive.

Now that they have captured developer mindshare. users are bad.
