Anthropic poll hints Claude Pro may regain 2x usage with 5-hour limits back

Boris Thsottiaux (Claude Code) polled Claude Pro users: would you trade 2x usage for bringing back the 5-hour throttle?
A "coming full circle" meme diagram lays out the timeline:
- Sep 29: Pro 200 usage cut in half
- Oct 29: existing Pro 200 users lose grandfathered limits
- Oct 11: official poll — 2x usage if 5-hour limits return
Users note the net result is back where things started, plus the 5-hour cage — a cut-then-double-back pricing maneuver drawing criticism.
