In the past few weeks:

- Anthropic introduced stringent limits at peak hours. By "introduced" I mean announced it on a random dev's Xitter account

- Users suddenly started burning through all of their tokens even on trivial tasks. Anthropic never truly acknowledged it, their random devs posted "we're working on it".

- One of the workarounds was to somewhat quietly reduce default reasoning to medium

- OpenClaw and "usage through other tools" banned

- Announce "redesigned Claude Code Desktop App that lets you run many parallel sessions"

- Availability is still circling down the drain

- Dario Amodei is in continuous "trust us we have AGI coding is solved we don't need programmers just give us more money" mode now

Fundamental mis-understanding of why availability is spiky
