Ridiculous. Anthropic is behaving exactly like OpenAI.

Claude was fantastic when I paid monthly, right up until I chose to commit to a yearly Pro subscription. Now, a mere thirty-four text prompts - mostly two or three sentences long - burn through 94% of my five-hour limit. To make matters worse, six of those prompts were wasted because I had to repeat what I had just stated. Claude kept pulling web calls for information already established one or two prompts earlier. This is machinery designed to eat your usage.
