alt Hacker NewsIs that true? What I saw was an official announcement linked on the claude code subreddit that said that if you claude code within the high-demand times using a subscription account, then you will now burn through your usage faster than previously. They did have a promotion as a carrot but the stick is the stick.

"Usage remains unchanged" between 8am and 2pm.
I feel the Claude subreddits are mostly full of speculation and dramatics, not much productive discussion, like endless exaggerated complaining about downtime. Pretty much the same as a pretty significant chunk of reddit nowadays.
Edit: the rumor was probably stemming from this https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/anthropic_tweaks_usag...
It does look pretty bad, especially not announcing it on a primary channel, but also they claim it's balanced out by efficiency gains and would affect 7% of users overall and 2% of 20x users.
