  • The author claims Anthropic’s Claude usage and subscription behavior is “bait-and-switch,” alleging that switching to an annual Pro plan makes prompts consume limits far faster than expected.

Claude was fantastic when I paid monthly, right up until I chose to commit to a yearly Pro subscription. Now, a mere thirty-four text prompts—mostly two or three sentences long—burn through 94% of my five-hour limit. To make matters worse, six of those prompts were wasted because I had to repeat what I had just stated. Claude kept pulling web calls for information already established one or two prompts earlier. This is machinery designed to eat your usage. This is the exact same bait-and-switch garbage OpenAI pulled with GPT 5.0, dropping nuance for heuristics, practically guaranteeing through hubris OpenAI’s eventual Lycos trajectory. Seeing Dario Amodei actively hustle to work out a deal with the Pentagon proves their entire ethical safety stance was nothing more than PR BS designed to manufacture a moral high ground.
