the reaction to all of this, and this article in particular, is really very very stupid. you can see here in this Reddit thread from April, when Claude Max was launched, that it was explicitly explained as being limited: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1jvbpek/breaking_anthropic_introduces_claude_max/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1jvbpek/breaking_... Max is described as "5-20x more than Pro", clearly indicating both are limited. here's their launch blog post: https://www.anthropic.com/news/max-plan https://www.anthropic.com/news/max-plan > The new Max plan delivers exactly that. With up to 20x higher usage limits, you can maintain momentum on your most demanding projects with little disruption. obviously everyone wants everything for free, or cheap, and no one wants prices to change in a way that might not benefit them, but the endless whinging from people about how unfair it is that anthropic is limiting access to their products sold as coming with limited access is really extremely tedious even by HN standards. and as pointed out dozens of times in these threads, if your actual worry is running out of usage in a week or month, Anthropic has you covered - you can just pay per token by giving Claude Code an API key. doing that 24/7 will cost ~100x what Max does though, I wonder if that's a useful bit of info about the situation or not?
