“This is likely another cost-cutting move that follows a recent change (per The Information) that forced enterprise users to pay on a per-million-token based rate rather than having rate limits that were, based on researchers' findings, often much higher than the cost of the subscription.”
Our reading, the sentence that was checked:
Anthropic's apparent removal of Claude Code from its $20-a-month Pro accounts is likely another cost-cutting move, coming after a recent change (reported by The Information) that made enterprise users pay per-million-token rates instead of having rate limits that, according to researchers, were often worth much more than the subscription cost.
