Ask HN: What shenanigans is Anthropic pulling with Claude subs this time?

1 points by throwup238 1d ago ↗ HN

Trying to get actual support from Anthropic is worse than Google so I guess I have to go here in the hopes that someone from Anthropic would read it:

I have several 20x Max subscriptions. I have no way to measure total token usage because most of my sessions are cloud session but they’ve been using the same automated workflow across similar projects.

One account, which was subscribed most recently, uses up about 15% of its weekly quota in a single maxed out five hour session. The other accounts use up nearly 30% for a full five hour session, meaning I get several less days less of use overall from those subs.

Is Anthropic pulling more shenanigans with their subscriptions again?

Not intending this to be over-snarky, but maybe it’s your workflows?

Same repos, same workflows.

Besides, how would workflows impact how much weekly quota 100% of a five hour quota uses? One account can fit more than six maxed out five hour sessions, the rest only three.

Something is fundamentally different between them, regardless of workflow.

I noticed my usage spiking a lot last week but I ultimately thought I was just being negligent, but now it seems it went back to normal. Also which effort level and model are you using?

It might be worth taking a look at the skills you have, I noticed improvements after installing the pony tail skill - https://github.com/dietrichgebert/ponytail
