As a Claude Code user (on the Max $200 plan), I think this is fine. Already I frequently receive:

    API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloade    d"},"request_id":"req_011CX42ZX2u

If they want to prioritize direct Anthropic users like me, that's fine. Availability is a feature to me.
