Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
Forecast
“This suggests that changes are to come for all subscription tiers, as he also added that Claude's Max plan was released before Claude Code and Claude Cowork, and "...designed for heavy chat usage, that's it."”
Our reading: Avasare's statements suggest Anthropic will likely change all of its subscription tiers, including Max.
No horizon
Qualifier: based on Avasare's statements that current plans weren't built for this usage

Causal claim
“This is likely another cost-cutting move that follows a recent change (per The Information) that forced enterprise users to pay on a per-million-token based rate rather than having rate limits that were, based on researchers' findings, often much higher than the cost of the subscription.”
Our reading: Anthropic's apparent removal of Claude Code from its $20-a-month Pro accounts is likely another cost-cutting move, coming after a recent change (reported by The Information) that made enterprise users pay per-million-token rates instead of having rate limits that, according to researchers, were often worth much more than the subscription cost.
No horizon
Qualifier: Anthropic 'appears to have' removed access
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
Forecast
“Users were, instead of paying on a per-million-token basis, allowed to use their subscription to access Claude Code, but will likely now have to pay for API access.”
Our reading: Pro users who used Claude Code through their subscription will likely now have to pay for API access to use it.
