Even though I'm not personally taking advantage of this "loophole" (or whatever you want to call it) I guess I'll take this as a win? My frustration with Anthropic has been around the uncertainty of all of this. What constitutes fair usage, what can I play with and not risk being banned, etc. In a way I was happy they _finally_ gave us clear information with this change but now that's all been paused. Like I said, I guess I'll call that a win, I thought the new system was at least clear which was a huge step up from before. It will be interesting to see what they eventually settle on. I'd love a world with "Sign in with XXXXX provider" where I can take my subscription (or PayG) with me to other services.
