Apparently people are consistently getting thousands of dollars worth of tokens for their $200/mo sub so this was just obviously unsustainable for Anthropic.

The 95% of users are subsidizing the 5% power users, in theory they could adjust the usage cap dynamically depending on usage vs. total number of subscribers. But of course with a complete lack of transparency it doesn't matter, there is no reason to ever give the benefit of the doubt to a for-profit company.

We know inference is very expensive so it's not reasonable to expect unlimited usage in general...

		Look if you make a service a flat rate you can oversubscribe and rate limit like crazy to squeeze it for profit, or measure the 5% of power users and set rate limits to maintain reasonable balance between cost vs. profits for all users. We don't know, nobody knows but them. Don't be a peasant.
