I want a refund. @AnthropicAI it's fine you can charge whatever you want but if you don't even give back an answer, I should get a refund. You can't just charge me for whatever I have in term of credit and subscription usage AND error out.

@jasondeanlee @tourzhao I agree with you it sucks. Has a long CoT, no response, then when you press “Continue” no response and then limit reached.

And the math is often wrong.

@jasondeanlee @AnthropicAI Paying is one thing. Paying and getting nothing in return is a completely different problem.

@jasondeanlee @AnthropicAI The answer is usually just in the CoT. Copy and paste it and give to ChatGPT 5.5 Pro.

Or say to Fable, save response as an artifact.
