Anthropic Briefly Removes Claude Code from $20 Pro Plan — Reverts After Massive Community Backlash
r/LocalLLaMA·high signal
Anthropic removed Claude Code access from its $20/month Pro plan for new subscribers on April 21, describing it as a '2% test on new prosumer signups.' The move triggered a firestorm across r/LocalLLaMA (1,055↑), r/ClaudeAI (756↑), and r/ChatGPT (676↑), with users flagging it as a stealth price hike forcing the $100 Max plan for coding. Anthropic reverted the pricing page within hours, stating the changes were 'understandably confusing for the 98% of folks not part of the experiment,' but the damage was done — r/LocalLLaMA's top post urged migration to Kimi K2.6 and OpenCode.
