I cant find a way to contact a real human? Has this happened to anyone before? Was using Sonnet 5. Thinking about charging back this months payment and saying goodbye for good.
I got the USD 100 credits from claude. What is the best way to use it? How many prompts can i makebefore I burned it? My project is more on documentation and policy/ SOP making and Fable helps a lot by producing complete SOP unlike the other lower models which only produces limited sections per document. Anyway, so with this kind of project, how long can the 100 usd get me?

I've been running two accounts, and have had this applied to one and not the other. Only a matter of time till it rolls out to everyone.
Instead of Opus 4.6 showing its normal thinking, the system has changed it to vague, half-sentence summaries, so you don't get to read it anymore and make sure it's on the right track.
Three year subscriber, think this is the final straw for me personally. This was one of the only genuinely better features Anthropic had against GPT - to be able to actually check its thinking process and whether it was understanding what you said.

Original post body:
I've been using CC and Codex back and forth past 6 months and have prioritize efficiency and optimization. I went ahead and bought Max 20x yesterday and already out of fable and 88% of the weekly.
My codebase is nowhere near "large" but work on a lot of projects and optimize with good MDs and skills to get things done.
Anyone else notice anything change recently, this is definitely not normal compared to what im used to. Most times I rarely read 90% throughout the week.
Eu utilizo o Claude Code e não, eu não tinha nenhuma atividade em segundo plano (Agente), não tinha routines habilitada, não tenho API de token habilitada na Claude, simplesmente meu limite semanal foi de 18% e foi para 99% e o Fable 5 que consumiu. Eu nunca utilizei o Fable e se pudesse desabilitar no Claude Code eu desabilitava!
Conversei com o Fin (Suporte da Claude no chat) e ele não consegue fazer nada por isso. Cara, no mínimo quero retornar meu limite semanal para 0% por conta desse erro da Claude ou um reembolso.
My Bank of America Visa has worked for Anthropic API credits for months, including my last purchase on July 10. Today every payment fails after about 10 seconds.
I’ve confirmed:
Same card and account
Sufficient funds
Card works everywhere else
No fraud blocks
Bank says they don’t even see a declined authorization
Fin AI just loops through generic troubleshooting and ends the chat instead of escalating.
Has anyone experienced this or found a way to reach Anthropic billing support? I am BEYOND frustrated
was perfect for a full month. not a single error made. This last week, is confused, forgetting context, forgetting goals of the project, not executing, giving up mid prompt if it cant figure it out, bad execution, bad debugging.
how is token use on fable5? Opus is borderline unusable. i have to run the first prompt through codex or gpt just to walk through claude on how to execute the code...
Not very knowledgeable about the AI industry, so I’m just wondering; Is anthropic trying to eventually migrate to 100% credit system? Because I probably won’t be able to afford that.
Pretty sad I can’t afford their newest model.. feel shafted after being subscribed to them for about a year and a half. I have to $100 credits they gave.. but I don’t want to get used to/enjoy something I can’t afford.
Me acaba de pasar en esta sesión, de la nada mi uso se disparó tengo Max 5x, ya llevo tiempo usándolo ya Masomenos conozco aprox el uso que me va a consumir cada prompt.
Me levanté y continúe mi proyecto en el que estaba trabajando, mandé un mensaje a Claude code para que hiciera algunas cosas y todo normal, me gasto lo usual, después fui a cowork, que es donde hago auditorías, revisiones etc, de lo que haya hecho Claude code, osea como que en Claude code ejecutó y en cowork discuto, y mandé un mensaje a cowork de algo muy sencillo que ya he pedido varias veces y se quedó pensando 15 minutos, lo cual ya se me hizo muy raro, para lo que le pedí son 4-5 minutos como máximo, y me metí a mi uso y como un putazo, 64% de uso de mi sesión de 5 horas, 64% en los primeros mensajes, y encima mi uso semanal salto al 50% la verdad no me había fijado antes cuánto uso semanal tenía pero ayer la última vez que revisé era 28-32%, fue un salto muy grande solo por un mensaje simple a cowork, jamás jamás me había consumido tanto uso, que hable con soporte a preguntar que podría haber pasado y me dijo que justamente estaban resolviendo unos problemas, me decía que hace 1 hora habían resuelto algo que probablemente si pudo haber afectado directamente a mi problema (ya no indague más de eso), y después pregunte acerca de eso, y me dice que (al momento que le contesté) que hace 3 minutos detectaron un error y lo estaba revisando que si podría afectar mi uso de el error y para seguir la resolución me dió este link https://stspg.io/3c161l5nt3kz y si en efecto en el tiempo que me dijo detectaron según relacionado a la creacion de documento algo así no investigue más, la verdad nose si si este relacionado a mi problema, ya he leído varios comentarios hablando del exceso de uso consumido, y ahora me toco a mi, la verdad no se que sea, y n siquiera me deja detener el output, sigue pensando ya apenas después de 20 minutos me contestó cowork y sigue pensando, realmente nose que está pasando, ya voy a 72% de uso de 5 horas, nose si a alguien más le habra pasado esto que me acaba de pasar pero de verdad fue excesivo el salto en el uso, de un segundo a otro, por un prompt demasiado simple.
Espero y receten el uso, hay varias especulaciones y filtraciones con que opus 5 sale mañana jueves, y espero que venga con un reset, me imagino que esto que me acaba de pasar a mi le pasó a mucha gente al mismo tiempo, o nose capaz y solo me pasó a mi pero lo dudo mucho.
After more than a year of using claude and claude code exclusively, and being subscribed to the pro plan, i always thought id stay team anthropic forever, but today i cancelled my subscription because i've had enough, not only does anthropic have way stricter limits than openAI and gemini, which is already bad enough! And now they decide to remove fable from the pro plan completely meanwhile openAI offers a similarly capable model with higher usage limits and included in the 20$ plan! Anthropic's downfall seems to be inevitable. Waiting for gemini 3.5 pro to see if we stay team openai or join team google!
It's just me or Claude Desktop Cowork (mainly) is offline?
Trying to use it for almost 1 hour but I'm unable to do it ... is unbearably slow and every answer start to loading and doesn't finish at all. I'm from Brazil. I don't know if it's something linked to my region or global...
So my pro plan ends in 2-3 days I wanted to try calude. It was good but no intention of renewing the subscription. Just claimed the $100 credit after seeing some place says till September. Will I still be able to use the credit or does it get locked away after I am shifted to a free plan.
I have super worse experience for the last days with "Fable 5" which I found to be actually Sonnet 4.6 that counts as Fable 5 in my rate limits, but on any minor task I give it does super dirty things, trying to go with the first possible lazy and stupid solutions.
I working with design task and that one cannot even done basic designs without doing obviously trash decisions.
I think they do this for those who tried to heavily use Fable, so now they redirects you not just to Opus 4.8 but to Sonnet 4.6
Im just a regular claude user. I run a small business and I develop product ideas for new projects. I have claude do deep dives on names so I dont overlap with another known company or product. Im in a chat with Opus 4.8 trying to come up with names for a new product and I like names having to do with space and physics and one of the names Im looking at happens to also be the name of a military grade cyber security company so right away my chat is flagged and I am bumped down to Sonnet 5. But it doesnt stop there. Five minutes later I am bumped down to Sonnet 4.6 and then again down to haiku 4.5. All because my agents keep researching names im testing and they are bumping into a few cybersecurity company names. I mean, the context of this chat is so basic and the agents are only accessing publicly available web pages for publicly listed companies. I love Claude over the rest but this is the kind of stuff the makes a regular user want to get out of this mess i gotta say.
I am trying to build an agent that I can talk to on my phone that sends emails, texts, and fills in my calendar. Right now, I am trying to get an API to connect to the bot, but I can't buy claude credits for some reason, and Google Cloud Drive requires authentication, which may not accept personal use. Does anyone have any solutions or good APIs to use? Or even agents they already built that do the same thing that I can try?
Has anyone been experiencing this lately? I have been using Claude Pro for like 4 months.. I have use it really hard some days in the past. I don't feel I have been using it that hard this week and then for the first time it pops up that message.
So I tried to spend the voucher but its a bit over the budget for no reason (as the adjust limit is exactly the same amount of $155 USD ($100 USD), this account is cancelling but I don't know if they will back charge me for anything as there is an oversea transaction fee for me $10 AUD.
I have a Pro account and we have recently got $100 in usage credits for Fable so I thought let's give it a try. I enabled that and I have merely done a little bit of code work, barely 30 minutes, and it's already like $12 of them is just gone. Can you believe it? Pro membership is $20 and lasts me a month whereas just 30 minutes of work just takes away $12. That's just crazy.
I am writing to formally dispute an unauthorized upgrade and cha/rge applied to my Claude .
The sequence of events on July 21, 2026, was as follows:
At 8:00 AM, I received a notification from my bank that Anthropic had cha/rged me USD 184.48.
When I checked , I found that it had been upgraded to the Max plan, although my intended subscription was Claude Pro and I had not requested or authorized a Max subscription.
I contacted the AI support agent and requested a refu/nd. A full ref/und of USD 200 was approved, and was returned to the Free plan.
At 10:59 AM, I deliberately subscribed again to the Claude Pro plan for USD 20.
At 12:01 PM, I received another bank notification showing that Anthropic had char/ged me an additional USD 180.03.
When I checked again, it had once more been changed to the Max 20x plan without my authorization.
I did not select, request, or approve the Max 20x subscription. My intention was clearly to subscribe only to the USD 20 Pro plan. Furthermore, the usage credit or extra usage option was disabled, so there was no valid basis for automatically upgrading or cha/rging me for the Max plan.
The support agent is now refusing to issue a refu/nd for the second unauthorized char/ge. This is completely unacceptable. A customer cannot be forced into a higher subscription tier that they did not select, particularly after already reporting and resolving the same issue earlier that day.
Like I said in the title, Claude lately has been barely allowing me any messages, and often times it doesnt even finish its process before it ends. I just asked it what I could do about it consuming my entire session so fast, and it ran out on my first message.
I know people have said to start a new chat, because it uses more and more the more it has to look back on and do. How would y'all go about doing that? I have a lot of stuff built up in our chats and have a good flow going, so id like to somehow maintain that when starting a new chat. What would you guys recommend? I considered having Claude put it all in a txt folder or something, but I'm not sure he would have enough session to do that. I know I could buy a plan, but I'd rather not if the free plan runs out this fast, can only imagine the other plans. Thanks!
