Engineer working on Amp here.

I'm very surprised that it took them this long to crack down on it. It's been against the terms of service from the start. When I asked them back in March last year whether individuals can use the higher rate limits that come with the Claude Code subscription in other applications, that was also a no.

Question is: what changed? New founding round coming up, end of fiscal year, planning for IPO? Do they have to cut losses?

Because the other surprise here is that apparently most people don't know the true cost of tokens and how much money Anthropic is losing with power users of Claude Code.
