How is any of what you wrote relevant? People aren't using Claude for the first time and hitting rate limits. They've been using Claude for months, at the very least, and they're hitting rate limits without significant changes to how they prompt.

If this were the problem, people would've encountered this when they started using Claude. The problem is not that they can't get anything done. It's being able to get things done for months, but suddenly hitting rate limits way too easily and response quality being clearly degraded, so they can't get things done that used to be possible.

This is a copypasta right? I'm damn confident I have read the same content before.

> Anthropic CAN change their limits and rates as they see fit, there’s never been hard promises or SLOs on these plans.

No they can't. When I buy an annual subscription and prepay for the year, they can't just go "ok now you get one token a month" a day in. I bought the plan as I bought it. They can't change anything until the next renewal.

They rolled out 1M context then they start doing this shit? I know Pro doesn't have access to the 1M context but what a joke.
