Anthropic began throttling Claude subscribers during peak hours without notice, despite knowing the economics don't work. A $20/month user generates ~$58 in inference costs, with power users burning far more. The company acknowledged some subscribers consume "tens of thousands of dollars" against flat-rate plans. Echoes AOL's 1996 unlimited access crisis that ended in regulatory settlement.

Anthropic Knew the Math. It Sold the Tickets Anyway

Anthropic throttled Claude sessions during peak hours without warning. A $20 subscriber costs nearly $60 in inference, and power users burn far more. AOL tried unlimited at a flat rate in 1996 and paid for it. The question is why Anthropic sold tickets it knew it couldn't honor.

If anything, this would probably boost Anthropic's credibility even more in the public eye.
