I'm well within the 95%. I might lack an imagination here, but... What are you guys doing that you hit or exceed limits so easily, and if you do... Why does it matter? Sometimes I'd like to continue exploring ideas with Claude, but once I hit the limit I make a mental note of the time it'll come back and carry on planning and speccing without it. That's fine. If anything, some time away from the slot machine often helps with ensuring I stay on course.

"... and advanced usage patterns like running Claude 24/7 in the background" this is why we can't have nice things

I imagine this was not surprising. This had to have been well-considered by the teams in the first round of pricing. I'm guessing they just didn't want it to be a blocker for release and the implementation is now catching up.

All of these AI services tell everyone how amazing AI is, it can run things, solve things on its own, while the developers are drinking coffee or sleeping. Some developers could actually do that with the service they paid for, fully in agreement with the terms and now it is their fault?

This is like when the all-you-can-eat buffet tells you you're only allowed to go the buffet line once.

No, it's not. It's the all you can eat buffet saying that 95% can eat all they want, but the 5% that keep sneaking food in their backpack to eat when they get can't do that anymore.

I'm not sure how this will play out long term, but I really am not a fan of having to feel like I'm using a limited resource whenever I use an LLM. People like unlimited plans, we are used to them for internet, text messaging, etc. The current pricing models just feel bad.

Unlimited works well for everything that is “too cheap to meter”.

Internet, text messages, etc are roughly that: the direct costs are so cheap.

That’s not the case with LLM’s at this moment. There are significant direct costs to each long-running agent.

I cancelled my subscription

I'll keep openAI and they dont even let me use CLI's with it, but they're at least Honest about their offerings.

Also their app doesnt tell you to go fuck off ever, if you're Pro

I got the same email (for my Pro account). And all the limits they set have nothing to do with their reason for setting them. Pro is so limited already that people “running 24/7” is a total nonsense.
