If you read the replies to the second, you’ll see an engineer on Claude Code at Anthropic saying that it is false.

Someone spread FUD on the internet, incorrectly, and now others are spreading it without verifying.

And if you look closely at the usernames, you see that the same engineer from link 2 that said "nah it’s just a bonus 2x, it’s not that deep" (just two week ago) is now saying "we're going to throttle you during peak hours" (as predicted).

Yes, it was FUD, but ended up being correct. With the track record that Anthropic has (e.g. months long denial of dumbed down models last year, just to later confirm it as a "bug"), this just continues to erode trust, and such predictions are the result of that.

  • Anthropic fixing that bug way faster than Apple fixing iOS keyboard "bug". Anthropic even acknowledged it, Apple gave us the silent treatment for years.

    I'm not sure it's a rug pull when their stats show 7% and 2% subscription-level impacts. We're back in the ISP days, and they never said unlimited.
