So now when it's down you can multiply that zero you're getting by two!

Saw this and yet... My usage of Claude has tanked (codex is better), but on the occasions I do use it (mostly for non-code), I blow through the 5hr usage super fast. Specifically on their Android app the accounting was different: same project, same content, same prompts, same output - but on mobile the usage was a fraction of the same query as their web UI. But that has seemingly been addressed recently also :(

I find the same. I can blow through the session limit on Pro in <an hour.

Yeah I was using it for legal stuff (a couple of months ago it was actually really good and with a bit of hand holding produced legal documents that judges could not distinguish from an actual lawyer - in a foreign language with a foreign legal system) and on average a single prompt or reply on mobile was ~2% of 5hr Pro usage, vs ~10 on webui. But not only does it now produce garbage, but maybe 5-6 replies and I'm already approaching the limit.

Finally, a relatable SpaceX use case: helping me run Claude Code for another hour before I hit the wall.

Given the political cloud surrounding Musk I'm surprised they aren't more low key about that. I'm certainly disinclined to ever use Claude now.

What a grown up, healthy attitude

musk's public image is well known, and the statement is reflecting a useful heuristic / business sense; some customers really would use claude less knowing that it's buddies with musk now. Your own immaturity leaks through. I would say that the one weakness for OP is that people okay with using claude but not okay with grok might be a different size overlap than expected (either more people fine with both, or more people disjoint, or it just doesn't factor in for people).
