If API tokens are 10x more expensive doesn’t that imply that the constant-cost subscription is massively subsidized?

Relies on many of the subscribers underusing their quota?

[a_bonobo]

yes, definitely. I've seen comments from people burning through $100s of tokens per day for a $200 per month subscription. Anthropic has just been cracking down and restricted token limits for restrictions, expect more to come, it's just not sustainable

Or the markup they apply to the price per token pricing is extremely large.

[Filligree]

Yeah, it probably is. I'll use it while it's there.
