You’re fully right and I’ve seen it play out at a startup. It’s unreal to see how that 0.1% userbase can find insane ways to use your service. For some people, it becomes a game to discover your rate limits and develop a service that goes just under the rate limit 24/7
In some cases, people discover creative ways to resell the service. Anthropic mentioned they suspect this was happening.
The weirdest part about this whole internet uproar, though, is that Anthropic never offered unlimited usage. It was always advertised as higher limits.
Yet all the comment threads about it are convinced it was unlimited and now it’s not. It’s weird how the internet will wrap a narrative around a story like this.
