That's not really a bug. Their AI inference is just expensive af. Anthropic has been slowly adjusting their systems to forwad the real costs to users because they are loosing way too much money and nobody wants to invest any serious amounts into them anymore.

@the_moep@mastodon.de @mhoye@cosocial.ca I’d considered that possibility, and I can’t rule it out, but that’s (even in the ridiculous political and business climate here in the US) still the sort of thing that can decisively kill a business, or at least cause its primary market to go elsewhere. One general recommendation on r/ClaudeAI now is “use a little Claude for planning stuff but use OpenAI Codex for most software tasks and generic chatbots for non-coding tasks.” E.g., the section titled “ ALTERNATIVE TOOLS & MULTI-PROVIDER STRATEGIES” in this Reddit “megathread”: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1s7fcjf/claude_usage_limits_discussion_megathread_ongoing/
