I read this on reddit daily ; we have usage monitoring running and collect all stats; we have seen no difference at all. Guess they are split testing or something maybe?
Could you elaborate what these usage monitors look like? I collect data locally and can easily show that cost per token has gone up in some of my sessions
All our people run a cron script which counts tokens (from jsonl) use and runs a scripted cli /usage (sending keyboard input to the running claude code) and sends that to a central system where we can see this. We see no real changes on any of the accounts or averaged. I have to note here that we only use sonnet 4.6; opus always ran over limits if not continuesly monitored and switched over to sonnet since it came out and it's useless to us for that reason.
