> Are Anthropic currently unable to sell subscriptions because they don’t have capacity?
Absolutely! Im currently paying $170 to google to use Opus in antigravity without limit in full agent mode, because I tried Anthropic $20 subscription and busted my limit within a single prompt. Im not gonna pay them $200 only to find out I hit the limit after 20 or even 50 prompts.
And after 2 more months my price is going to double to over $300, and I still have no intention of even trying the 20x Max plan, if its really just 20x more prompts than Pro.
This has a absolutely nothing to do with whether they're limited by available compute...
What? Wouldn't they give me more than 1 prompt of compute for my $20, if they had spare?
I don't think that logically follows.
They have a business model and are trying to capture more revenue, fully saturating your computer isn't obviously a good business strategy.
If anything, you are confirming that $170 covers heavy Opus use profitably for the provider.
