I think Anthropic were trialling a dynamic load system, which spreads a set usage cap across all their subscribers. So the more people heavily using the service today, the less usage per-user as it was “shared” with the big blob of total subscribers. Maybe an oversimplification of how it works but I think this was the gist of their ploy. They have to get their costs under control before the IPO and are experimenting with different systems to achieve that. I noticed that after 6pm, going off peak it calmed down - not by half as the advertised 2x would suggest but much more than that. So as people downed tools, this seemed to help balance out the usage allocation for each user. Let’s see what comes of this. Is it better for Claude to have really severe downtime during peak use, or for us to burn through our usage allocations faster and being forced to down tools? I guess that’s the dilemma they are struggling with here… submitted by /u/freedomfromfreedom
