For what it’s worth, Anthropic very strongly claim that they don’t degrade model performance by time of day [1]. I have no reason to doubt that, imo Anthropic are about as ethical as LLM companies get.

Banning paying users with no warning doesn’t seem super ethical. Probably not unethical, either, but I would not frame them as “the most ethical”

I'd say they're about as good as the average billion dollar American tech company when it comes to ethics.
