People will do anything to avoid RTFM.
Many of the same people probably use LLMs to avoid having to WTFM, so I’m not surprised.

I had to double check that they'd removed the non-1M option, and... WTF? This is what's in `/config` → `model` 1. Default (recommended) Opus 4.6 with 1M context · Most capable for complex work 2. Sonnet Sonnet 4.6 · Best for everyday tasks 3. Sonnet (1M context) Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context · Billed as extra usage · $3/$15 per Mtok 4. Haiku Haiku 4.5 · Fastest for quick answers So there's an option to use non-1M Sonnet…
`/model opus` sets it to the original non-1M Opus... for now.
Thanks. I quickly burned through $100 in credit when I started using Opus 4.6 in OpenCode via OpenRouter. My session stopped and was getting an error not representative of credit availability, so was surprised after a few minutes when I finally realized Opus just destroyed those credits on a bullshit reasoning loop it got stuck in. Anthropic seems to know that the expanded context is better for their bottom line as they've defaulted it now.
And as others have said it's very easy to burn token usage on the $100/month plan. It's getting to the point where it's going to very much make sense to do model routing when using coding tooling.

#83Side note: I don’t know what Anthropic changed but now Claude Code consumes the quota incredibly fast. I have the Max5 plan, and it just consumed about 10% of the session quota in 10 minutes on a single prompt. For $100/month, I have higher expectations.
I've heard this a few times lately, but this past weekend I built a website for a friend's birthday, and it took me several hours and many queries to get through my regular paid plan. I just use default settings (Sonnet 4.6, medium effort, thinking on). I'm guessing Opus eats up usage much, much faster. I don't know what's going on, since a lot of people are hitting limits and I don't seem to be.
Even with Opus I don’t usually hit limits on the standard plan. But I am not doing professional work at the moment and I actually alternate between using the LLM and reading/writing code the old fashioned way. I can see how you’d blow through the quota quickly if you try to use LLMs as universal problem solvers.

This is a serious problem with the fact that it's nearly impossible to understand what a "token" is and how to tame their use in a principled way. It's like if cars didn't advertise MPG, but instead something that could change randomly.

I'm very surprised to see enshittification starting so early. I was expecting at last 3-4 years of VC subsidized gravy train.

what they changed was peak vs off-peak usage metering. using it on the weekend gets you more use than during weekdays 9-5 in US eastern time.
I waited until off peak hours to use Opus 4.6 to do some research. One prompt consumed 100% of my 5h limit and 15% of my weekly usage. Even off peak it's still insane. Opus didn't even manage to finish what it was doing.

This has been 6 months of constant decline so at this point I am wondering when they cliff it like wework

They need to get to profitability because that sweet sweet Saudi subsidy cash is gone gone.
They wont be profitable at this point...they just dont realise they are eating their own tail.

Also, certain models are more verbose than the others. We are basically at the mercy of a model who likes to ramble a lot.

I completely agree that requests are what should be charged for. But I think there are two things, given that requests aren't all going to cost the same amount:
1. Estimate free invoicing the requests and letting users figure it out after the fact. 2. Somehow estimating cost and telling users how much a request will cost.
We have 1, we want 2.
