Anthropic Slammed as Greedy for Charging Extra for Claude Code Fast Mode

A Reddit user launched a tirade against Anthropic's pricing strategy for Claude Code. The user complained that despite Claude models being slow, error-prone, and less obedient than newer GPT models, they still pay a hefty $200/month subscription.

The tipping point is Anthropic's decision to charge extra out-of-pocket for the "fast mode" in Claude Code. The user argues that having already paid $200 and being restricted by weekly and 5-hour usage windows, they should have the right to use their quota at whatever pace they choose, making the extra fast-mode fee pure greed.
