I, like many of you, have been affected by the usage limit bug for the past 30 hours now. I’m starting to suspect that Anthropic’s silence is due to them running an experiment. They do have their IPO coming up. This is speculation on my part, but it could be that they decided to drastically reduce usage such that max users were limited to previous pro usage to see if they could encourage their max users to sign up for the 20x package. I know I certainly considered it, while I was waiting for the bug fix but not I’m starting to think it is the new normal and not a bug. I think it may be a good idea to play a game of chicken with Anthropic and to set your plan to not renew. If enough of us set our subscriptions to not renew, we can force them to review this bug, or to cancel the experiment in lower usage = higher pricing. submitted by /u/dcphaedrus
