The April every AI plan broke
2026년 4월, 주요 AI 서비스 제공업체들이 구독 요금제와 가격 정책에서 대대적인 변화를 겪으며 혼란이 발생했다. Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub 등은 기존 구독 모델이 자율 에이전트 및 다양한 사용 패턴을 제대로 반영하지 못해 요금 체계가 붕괴되는 문제를 경험했다. 특히 Anthropic의 OpenClaw 차단과 GitHub Copilot의 신규 가입 중단은 단기간 내에 발생한 급격한 조치로 사용자 불만을 야기했다. 이 사태는 AI 서비스의 단가 산정과 과금 시스템이 제품 진화에 맞춰 재설계되어야 함을 시사한다.

The April every AI plan broke

Five panicked moves in three weeks. One Anthropic exec quote that explained all of them. And the financial engineering reckoning the whole industry has been deferring.

Claude pro, now copilot stopped taking individual subscribers (to keep service quality stable while announcing in the same blog post that they lower quotas and remove models from the pro subscription, sure nothing to do with GitHub's bottomline) and rumours suggest they really want to post on the token costs to the users.

Anthropic moved enterprise customers from flat-fee seats to per-token billing for Claude usage, signaling broader industry shift away from AI subsidies. The change follows uptime issues that pushed companies like Retool to OpenAI despite preferring Claude's capabilities. Expect other providers running compute-intensive workloads to follow similar pricing models as the economics tighten.

Anthropic shifts enterprise billing to usage-based pricing

Anthropic has unbundled Claude Code usage from enterprise seat fees, moving customers to per-token billing amid a compute crunch. Retool's founder already switched to OpenAI over uptime. Session caps, cache cuts, and OpenClaw meters show the subsidy bleeding out.

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Pro for $100/month. That's 5 times more than the current Plus plan. If you've been running into hard limits with Claude, this could be a very nice supplement. #ChatGPT #OpenAI #AIPricing
