The week your AI coding tier got smaller

In 48 hours this week, two of the biggest AI coding platforms confirmed the same thing: your unlimited subscription was never sustainable for how you actually use it. The provider will be the one who decides when to cut you off. Anthropic silently removed Claude Code from Pro on a "2% A/B test" (later reversed). Their Head of Growth justified it saying "usage has changed a lot and our current plans weren't built for this." GitHub paused new Copilot Pro signups and dropped Opus from Pro entirely.
