>Basically Anthropic was selling a flat fee electricity subscription

No? It was flat, but with ambiguously stated limits (eg. 5x, 10x 20x). They were discriminating on how the "electricity" was used, but that's not that much different than how power companies have different rates for residential users vs industrial users.

Even now they are insanely ambiguous with respect to their usage limits. They don't from what I know openly disclose them anywhere, so them saying "5x increase" is utterly meaningless, alongside "20x" or "10x" or whatnot, because we don't know what "x" is.
