@beffjezos No, I won't

My bet is the $2000/mo subscription is around the corner and many will willingly pay for it

@bcherny Fix my extra credits. Why am I getting only 85 Euro when I pay 127 every month?

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@thsottiaux @varunram Same shit, different smell.

@varunram We're not Apple. We are OpenAI.

Codex is great and a good alternative to Claude Code but Apple doesn't position Apple as an alternative to Samsung or cheaper Samsung or better Samsung or anything like that. OpenAI needs to get its comms together without employees diluting the brand in random ways. And its very straightforward to see Anthropic's comms with only a few folks posting about anything related to Claude Code.

@iruletheworldmo Codex is stupid and cheap. Claude is smart and expensive.

thanks for paying $200 per day sorry our models are unusable at all times it’s all your fault pleasure ignore codex being better and their daily resets and continue to spend money us again. it’s your fault dear user.

@bcherny @seshubon Proof of how much I pay monthly.

@bcherny @seshubon Fix mine too. Why do I get only 85 Euro in credits when I pay 127 Euro/month? 😡 You're already charging me more than you do your US customers because the base Max sub is 100 US vs 100 EUR and the EUR is more xpensive. Fix it.

@thsottiaux No, Codex gave me wrong solutions to a problem two times in a row, while Claude one-shotted it. Both had the same instructions and context. With current AI models, you either get cheap stupidity or expensive intelligence. No in-betweens.

From the surge in demand on Codex and many other services, it is clear that AI companies are going to go through a phase of demand outpacing supply. Two things will be most important, having the most capacity and having the most efficient models. I believe we have both.

@MattLeonard1616 @bcherny I pay 127 Euro after tax for my Max subscription but only got 85 Euro. Wtf is this?!?!

@bcherny Cannot accept the credit?

@bcherny My Max subscription costs 127 Euro a month. This is nowhere close to it!

We want to be intentional in managing our growth to continue to serve our customers sustainably long-term. This change is a step toward that.

@bcherny You charge me the same as your US customers (it's actually more because it's in Euro) but you give me fewer credits?!?!?

@bcherny I pay 127 Euro every month for my Max subscription. 85 Euro is not equal to it in any way. 😡

Subscribers get a one-time credit equal to your monthly plan cost. If you need more, you can now buy discounted usage bundles. To request a full refund, look for a link in your email tomorrow. support.claude.com/en/articles/13…

@lydiahallie Do you have plans to switch into message-based limits instead of token-based? And then give Pro users at least 3000 Opus queries per week (5x/20x for Max)?

Digging into reports, most of the fastest burn came down to a few token-heavy patterns. Some tips: • Sonnet 4.6 is the better default on Pro. Opus burns roughly twice as fast. Switch at session start. • Lower the effort level or turn off extended thinking when you don't need deep reasoning. Switch at session start. • Start fresh instead of resuming large sessions that have been idle ~1h • Cap your context window, long sessions cost more CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=200000 We're rolling out more efficiency improvements, make sure you're on the latest version. If a small session is still eating a huge chunk of your limit in a way that seems unreasonable, run /feedback and we'll investigate

Thank you to everyone who spent time sending us feedback and reports. We've investigated and we're sorry this has been a bad experience. Here's what we found:

@jacob_posel Well, opening it consumes tokens too now

Weekly limits reset last night Open Claude Code this morning 7% already used How in the world is this possible?

@nichtleoo @kimmonismus The lower usage limits were supposed to last only until 2x off-peak limits were present. And yet, they made them permanent.

@kimmonismus Barely hitting limits from Germany. Read on Reddit that it depends heavily on your timezone and region because during US peak hours the quotas burn through way faster. Feels like Anthropic maxed out their server capacity and is quietly throttling by geography.

I don’t get this post. All users are saying they're reaching their rate limits faster than before. Anthropic investigated and said: we found nothing, but hey, why not use Sonnet instead of Opus because Opus uses about twice the bandwidth?

@renatho_sa @lydiahallie They give 1M context but make it unusable. Makes sense.

These tweaks helped, but it’s still far from what it used to be: - disable 1M context - re-enable clear context and go back to 200k - load skills only when needed - keep LSP per project, not global - do a soft cache cleanup Claude usage gets noticeably better after 7 PM UTC

@Steve_Dolinsky @lydiahallie It's a bonus that ran for 2 weeks, where you'd get 2x the usage when you use the models outside of peak hours. And then, two days before this bonus was over, they lowered limits for usage during peak hours. Not just temporarily but permanently.

@lydiahallie What does "peak-hour limits are tighter" mean, I don't use this platform daily but I do remember this from a few weeks ago.

@lydiahallie Peak-hour limits being tighter was supposed to only last for two weeks and go away with the higher off-peak limits, right?

Peak-hour limits are tighter and 1M-context sessions got bigger, that's most of what you're feeling. We fixed a few bugs along the way, but none were over-charging you. We also rolled out efficiency fixes and added popups in-product to help avoid large prompt cache misses

@SoleneBlossom @gdb No, 4o is never gettin open-sourcing

@gdb OPEN SOURCE 4o!!!!!!! #OpenSource4o #Keep4o #BringBack4o #FireSamAltman #FireGregBrockman

We've changed our pricing so it's now possible to try Codex at work without any up-front commitment. Codex (especially through the app!) has gotten *really* good. Happy building!

@stark4833 @gdb No one cares about what you want. Stop spamming.

@gdb Why? No one cares about Codex, do people even use it, I never hear anything about it. Why don’t you do something we actually care about and give us back 4o. #keep4o

@Nickykkamau @gdb Why is it charging you just 5 bucks total?! Mine is 12 EUR!?!?

@gdb Finally after being blocked forever for whatever reason 😭 ..m y'all finally accepted my $5 ... It's okay. It's a small start - curious what this new upgrade brings. Check with Stripe there was a time they were blocking payments unnecessarily. Maybe it's a cloud flare issue
