As long as everyone is here, have you seen the token usage just go up remarkably recently for the $100 plan? it lasts a lot less time than it used to recently. Might be related to recent releases of claude.

I read this on reddit daily ; we have usage monitoring running and collect all stats; we have seen no difference at all. Guess they are split testing or something maybe?

Could you elaborate what these usage monitors look like? I collect data locally and can easily show that cost per token has gone up in some of my sessions

I'm on the basic £18/month plan and with Sonnet 4.6 I literally get 20 maybe 30 minutes of use out of it per day. It's borderline useless now. I was using it for some Home Assistant changes yesterday and it used up my entire daily allowance after 8 prompts.

I guess 2026 is the last year AI is widely available to anyone who isn't willing to shell out hundreds if not thousands for a monthly subscription. I guess all that's left is to thank all the investors for the free ride LOL

Hard to square that with how good open-weights models are getting? I'm doing stuff with Qwen3.5-4b that required a frontier hosted model less than a year ago.

They always have the option to stop accepting new customers when their infrastructure is peaked out instead of lowering quality for everyone.

You can't stop accepting new customers unless you're fine with killing your potential future customer base. That's a ridiculous suggestion. Either your current customers or your potential future customers are going to be unhappy so long as compute resources are finite. Take your pick.

Is it though? Claude's reliability is now at an all-time low of 98.7%. It's not a stretch to think that large companies will have second doubts about about adopting claude for their production environments.

If you think $100 is that much and get very high expectations from it, you're not the target customer. You're a loss leader to Anthropic, and the fact that you don't see that / still have high expectations means your expectations are unrealistic.

$100/m for SaaS is very steep. For an entire productivity suite including mail, meetings and terabytes of backed up redundant storage with nearly no bandwidth limitations it's like $35/m for even the most expensive option.

you could arguably ditch the productivity suite and a few other 'essential' subscriptions to make room for this one, except the price point will get enshittified to hell in the coming months and years.

A bit surprised by the snarky comments here -- I also want Claude to work reliably but very few (no?) companies have ever seen this level of rapid growth. We're going to go through a long fail-whale-style period and I can imagine very, very few companies that could avoid that.

When the narrative around AI is that people should rely on it all the time, people will be judged by your token use (it better be high), the AI is smarter than everyone and will take all the jobs, the AI is the best programmer, and more… When things fail repeatedly, it highlights that the emperor has no clothes. If it’s as good as they say, why can’t it figure out how to not go down every day? How can people rely on…

I mean I used to work on model reliability with my little PhD degree and the models i manage go down all the time.

Some profs have a team of PhDs and things go to shit all the time. I don’t know why we expect $FRONTIER_LLM to do better

Claude Code and Codex are not SaaS products in the traditional sense.

what? they already have, they aren't releasing mythos except to a limited pre-approved customer base who is practically begging them to take their money. they can do that for lower tier models and at this point they should.
