I have been a heavy user of Claude but cancelled my Pro subscription yesterday. The usage limits have been quietly tightened up like crazy recently and 3.7 is certainly feeling dumber lately.
But the main reason I quit is the constant downtime. Their status page[0] is like a Christmas tree but even that only tells half the story - the number of times I have input a query only to have Claude sit, think for a while then stop and return nothing as if I had never submitted at all is getting ridiculous. I refuse to pay for this kind of reliability.

- bakugo 2y agoCan confirm. As an API user, "overloaded" errors have been happening pretty often lately.
- tesch1 2y agoAt 99.38+ uptime - seems like the reds in the xmas tree are OR'd into the bars rather averaged in, making them look worse than they actually are, which is refreshingly honest to see in an uptime monitor.
- bayarearefugee 2y agoAlso cancelled Claude Pro due to a combination of unreasonable amounts of downtime and Gemini 2.5 just doing a better job for me. I'd estimate there's probably like another 6 months to a year where I'll jump around to whatever 'cloud' LLM is currently winning on quality of the model (in terms of usefulness as a coding assistant) and just basic UI/availability and then I'll build a locally hosted system and just use that. I certainly don't have anything like brand loyalty to any of them, so I'm down for a race to the bottom.
