Brief
Anthropic is accused of covertly reducing usage for Max 20x ($200/month) customers mid-cycle: after an April 23 reset announcement, identical workflows now consume far more session capacity (one prompt = 7–8% of a 5-hour session) and Opus 4.7 burns 2–3x more tokens than 4.6. Users report multi-day reporting lags, looped AI support, and billing-date shifts; the author urges moving to Codex.
Why it matters
Author @om_patel5 alleges Anthropic is silently throttling Max 20x customers (the $200/month highest tier) mid-billing cycle, citing users who suddenly get less usage and one Max 20x subscriber hitting a 5-hour limit for the first time (post dated 2026-05-05).
Key details
- After Anthropic's April 23 'we fixed everything and reset limits' announcement, the author reports the same workflow on Opus 4.6 now makes a single prompt consume 7–8% of a 5-hour session; Opus 4.7 reportedly uses 2–3x more tokens than 4.6 for identical prompts.
- Users report multi-day dashboard reporting lags, automated AI support that returns scripted loops, and billing anomalies (final billing day cut short by 12–24 hours and start dates shifting); the author concludes limits are being quietly nerfed and suggests switching to Codex.
