Anthropic Quietly Hasn't Shipped the Sonnet 5 Price Increase It Once Signalled
r/ClaudeAI (143up/42c)·low signal
An r/ClaudeAI post at 143 upvotes and 42 comments notes the absence of a once-intended Sonnet 5 price hike, speculating it's being held back as goodwill after the Opus pricing controversy. This is community inference from a non-event rather than an announcement, so treat the motive as speculation — but the underlying fact, that Sonnet 5 pricing has not moved, is checkable and matters for anyone budgeting a high-volume Sonnet workload. Watch for whether the increase lands later once attention moves on.
