Wait what, so they're testing giving new users misleading information about included services in each tier as an upsell tactic?

No I think the test is that some new sign ups won't get Claude code in that tier if they pick it and they're seeing if users will still pay for it without it?

That's how i read it too - they want to test if people will still pay for pro plan if it doesn't include Claude Code. At the same time they are also saying that if you subscribe having been told it does include Claude Code, they may still change their mind later and take it away!

And this is why local AI is going to be the future.

Local AI is almost impossible right now with the prices of RAM and GPUs and the sizes of decent models. No way spending even an optimistic 10k, but more likely 20k, on a setup that is good for 5-6 months makes any financial sense.

Anthropic’s “Head of Growth” claims this is a “test”: https://x.com/TheAmolAvasare/status/2046724659039932830 This does not explain the changes to documentation.

This reeks of the start of enshittification. Very doubtful it was a "test"

Just checked. I continue to have Claude Code with my Pro plan

This is concerning though. If I lose my current usage allotment at this price point I will likely switch to codex

I paid for the annual Pro plan in January...I know this mentions new users right now, but is there a chance they just take Code away?!

They would probably grandfather existing users in for at least a year or something, you have to imagine. Even if this "test" goes very well and points to removal

This test makes perfect sense with their actions the last few weeks, they think they've done enough to transition into the general public and away from devs and our goodwill no longer is something they should be concerned with.

Its funny that openai, who in my eyes went for the general public rather than devs initially, seems to be semi pivoting and catching all the fallout from anthropic's recent behavior.

It is a massive bummer, up until those few weeks ago, i was hard pulling for anthropic for quite some time, now i just dont care and hope something dope emerges quickly that signals i wont ever have to consider either of them.

It is honestly truly fucking incredible how corps still find new, innovative ways to enshittify. Regular enshittification won't cut it, they have to exercise their artistic creativity. Who the fuck comes up with the idea that what services you get with your subscription are random ? It's mind-boggling that some percentage of people visiting the website will be presented with an inferior version of the same subscripti…

Claude subscription became non deterministic too

> When we do land on something, if it affects existing subscribers you'll get plenty of notice before anything changes. Will hear it from us, not a screenshot on X or Reddit.

If you don't want things like this spreading through screenshots of X and Reddit, don't run "tests" like this in the first place!

(Also "if it affects existing subscribers" is a cop-out, I need to know the pricing of Claude Code for NEW subscribers if I'm going to adopt it at a company with a growing team, or recommend it to other people, write tutorials etc.)
