I mean they want to make money right? CC is a cool tool, but obviously they want you to use the api eventually if you’re even remotely a power user, 200/month for all you can eat tokens (well, until some arbitrary limit of the day kicks in) just doesn’t make sense when compared to api prices. In other words, CC should be seen as a software subscription.

The token limit is the same whether used in CC or in other harnesses.

		Sure, but then Anthropic loses the possibility to upsell, show ads, telemetry, brag about number of users and how long they use it etc etc. Not necessarily what’s in there today, but what can be in there tomorrow. They also get the ability to much better fine tune backoffs etc from a purely technical side of things.
