Funny that I just saw this after have "Console temporarily unavailable". I am currently at the stage that: 1) I think Claude Code is very impressive 2) I think pretty much everything else about them is terrible. * Support really poor, raised a ticket last week and have heard nothing back at all * Separation of claude.ai accounts and console accounts is super confusing * Couldn't log into the platform since I had an o…

It's apparently not even possible to get a tax exemption if you work at a place exempt from state taxes. Some institutions are sticklers about this and will refuse to allow payments.

Anthropic has been avoiding the hard thing, but they just need to do SOME kind of pricing thing here to shift demand. I expect there is just no amount of tricks that can handle the few hours at peak load. They need "surge pricing".

This seems reasonable surge pricing approach to me: 1. Implement surge pricing for everyone for the peak 2 hours of the day if possible. 2 hours you can work around, 5 hours is too hard. 2. Give existing customers a one time credit for surge 3. Make sure the plans just consume credits at an accelerated rate (e.g. if on the max plan, i just get 1/2 usage during peak hours). 4. Exempt sonnet/haiku from surge (so people can keep using) 5. Make "auto" settings in claude code etc automatically adapt during surge hours, so people don't get surprises by default. 6. For the first 90 days, unofficially waive the fist $100 in surge for every user but notify them. To train users about the surge, and get them used to it without having them actually pay. 7. (I don't think they would do this but this would help) allow users to fall back to using something like GLM 5.1 or Gemma 4 automatically in outages, with a partnership to handle it. Its not ideal, but i would prefer it in "partner mode" than not. IMO they can charge like 10% on top of the partner fees for this if used in other times, but during outages or surge, partner mode is free. But 100% managed by Anthropic so users don't need to set things up and can just use the Anthropic harness.

Anthropic still haven't fixed the major issue where we can't paste the token as well, and now, it starts to smell fishy, they likely did it on purpose. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/47887

I think you're giving them way too much credit here.

In this case, Hanlon's razor has never been sharper.

"This should be fixed in 2.1.108" - ashwin-ant - 10 hours ago

2 days to fix a major issue where we can't login from any sort of web terminal? (even typing manually doesn't work as `n` char auto-exit the frame). All kind of CI/CD pipelines are broken if you were delogged for any reason.

Did you try downgrading?

What about usage / quota?

Much better than Claude. I've never hit the quota on Codex. On Claude (Code), I used to hit it every other day before switching to Codex.

I hears they just shrunk the Plus tier quota. People on /r/codex have been complaining for a few days now.

They're trying to push people to their new $100 tier, which has a boosted quota for now.

They are in a three-way tension between price, quantity/quality and promises of growth to investors (time horizon-sensitive). Nudge one factor too much and the house of cards falls down.
