You are lucky they refunded you. Imagine they didn't ban you and you continued to pay 220 a month.
I once tried Claude made a new account and asked it to create a sample program it refused. I asked it to create a simple game and it refused. I asked it to create anything and it refused.
For playing around just go local and write your own multi agent wrapper. Much more fun and it opens many more possibilities with uncensored llms. Things will take longer but you'll end up at the same place.. with a mostly working piece of code you never want to look at.
LLMs are kind of fun to play with (this is a website for nerds, who among us doesn’t find a computer that talks back kind of fun), but I don’t really understand why people pay for these hosted versions. While the tech is still nascent, why not do a local install and learn how everything works?
Because my local is a laptop and doesn't have a GPU cluster or TPU pod attached to it.
If you have enough RAM, you can run Qwen A3B models on the CPU.

Claude code with opus is a completely different creature from aider with qwen on a 3090.
The latter writes code. the former solves problems with code, and keeps growing the codebase with new features. (until I lose control of the complexity and each subsequent call uses up more and more tokens)
Anthropic is lucky their credit card processor has not cut them off due to excessive disputes that stem from their non existent support.
