I am engineer by trade. If I pushed an update which wrongly busted my customer's usage limits at a trillion dollar company, I would expect to get fired. Alongside my EM.
Regardless of your expectations (I'm not criticizing them), that is just not how it works at most American companies. Especially not for your manager.

So, in America, just because it's written in a contract does not mean it's enforceable in anyway. I can make you sign a infinitely generating contract, that doesn't mean it's enforceable/
> So, in America, just because it's written in a contract does not mean it's enforceable in anyway. But the presumption, as any court will show, is that it is fully blooming enforceable. The burden of proof is on showing it isn't. This particular instance, a lawyer would laugh at you in the face over, this is absolutely 100% stone cold enforceable common and expected.

My theory is the dragons actually benefit immensely from sitting atop the gold piles as it acts as an amazing heat sink. I don’t think that really fits with the metaphor but I wanted to say my piece regardless.
We don’t really have dwarven gold hoards anymore - I’m thinking we can prove climate change is caused by overheating dragons. Everyone send me all your gold and I’ll prove it.

There is literally nothing close to illegal about this behavior. You read the terms of service right, which provides a long list of explicit and implicit disclaimers?
What action did the user take that was against the TOS?
The TOS simply allows Anthropic to decline to fulfill a request at any time for any reason.

I would expect someone would be critiqued to avoid it re-occurring and the persons money to be refunded. A company which fires so trivially will quickly flush institutional knowledge and team cohesion along with eating substantial recruitment costs.

No. Hanlon's razor applies here.
You lose little by assuming malicious intent when it comes to billion-dollar tech companies and your money. They can prove otherwise by remedying the situation.
The Purpose of a System is What it Does[1].
Whether malicious or not, the system does what it does. If people wanted it to do something else they would change the system. The reality is that when corporations make mistakes that benefit them those mistakes rarely get fixed without some sort of public outcry, turning the "mistake" into a "feature".

That's malicious and I think this is scamming from the literal money (you didn't do anything wrong, you executed one command and they scammed you out of the fair usage you paid for). Please raise the ticket or at least GitHub issue for visibility. Sooner or later some sort of complaint to the relevant trade authority should happen - this is a scam operation at this point.

There are many possible explanations for this outcome to have occurred other than malice. If you're an engineer by trade, consider how many bugs you've been responsible for over the course of your career that you didn't intend. Probably a lot. How about we turn down the heat, everyone?

You're right. They'd prefer to fire 7% of their team that did nothing wrong instead.
