Let’s be honest: The weekly usage limit system has made paid plans practically unusable.
I am paying, but I cannot use the service.
This is not “Fair access.”
This is customer punishment.
If the goal was to stop account sharing → why are legitimate single-user accounts being throttled?
Upgrading to Max x5 or Max x20 does NOT increase real usage.
Reset times are inconsistent and not transparent.
Users are being cut off mid-project, mid-work-week.
This isn’t an improvement.
It’s bait-and-switch pricing with artificial scarcity.
And here’s the real consequence:
If this continues,
Users will cancel, not “wait it out.”
Professionals will move to ChatGPT, Gemini, and open-source models.
Claude goes from “the best model available” to “the model nobody can actually use.”
We are paying customers, not abusers.
Stop restricting legitimate usage.
