I'm very surprised that it took them this long to crack down on it. It's been against the terms of service from the start. When I asked them back in March last year whether individuals can use the higher rate limits that come with the Claude Code subscription in other applications, that was also a no.

Question is: what changed? New founding round coming up, end of fiscal year, planning for IPO? Do they have to cut losses?

Because the other surprise here is that apparently most people don't know the true cost of tokens and how much money Anthropic is losing with power users of Claude Code.

[cmdtab]

Yeah. If my claude code usage was on API directly, it would be in thousands. I know this because I have addon credits on top of the max plan because I run into weekly limits often

[ramoz]

You think anthropic is losing money now with the weekly limits? And while hitting the gas on mass market?

[Esophagus4]

I thought inference was relatively cheap - no?

Can you share more on this?
