Anthropic loses hundreds of Claude Pro and Max subscriptions
Anthropic updated its Claude Code tools to impose rate limits on third-party wrappers and integrations. Hundreds of users canceled Claude Pro and Max subscriptions in response. Analysis of a related thread estimated 350 cancellations, projecting a monthly revenue loss of $23,800. The changes disrupted existing third-party builds and prompted some developers to switch to alternatives such as Codex.
#464kache@YACINEMTBHe's right. Stop trying to lock people in. If you just made Claude code a better product, people wouldn't go to other places and try to wrap your stuff. Not a lot of people mind using codex.. it's because it's actually good software /goal
Theo - t3.gg@theoI can't help but feel personally burned by the Claude Code changes announced today. We put so much work into wrapping the (atrocious) Claude Agent SDK in T3 Code. It was the ONLY path they supported, so we made it work. It was hell. Now our users are getting their rate limits cut by 40x, despite us doing everything right. I listened to the Claude Code team. I had my issues with their direction, but I trusted them and took them at their word. I will never make that mistake again. Until we see significant change, it is safe to assume any statement from an Anthropic employee is a lie on a timer. The rug will be pulled, no matter how many promises are made beforehand.
@yacineMTB Grok build is actually good. They just need a better model.
