Anthropic Blocks Claude Max in OpenCode: Devs Cancel $200/Month Plans Anthropic has suddenly cut off API access for third-party IDE extensions like OpenCode. Users paying for premium "Claude Max" subscriptions ($100-$200/month) are reportedly being forced to use Anthropic's official terminal-based tool instead of their preferred IDE workflows, leading to a wave of subscription cancellations. https://byteiota.com/anthropic-blocks-claude-max-in-opencode...

Anthropic Reportedly Blocking Non-Official Claude API Connections Frustrated developers are reporting sudden lockouts from third-party apps like OpenCode and Clawdbot.

I feel it. Honestly, AI has changed my life for the better. I know many people feel that fatigue, but I’m hungry and excited to wake up to see what's new each day. After many years in tech, everything started to feel stale... and then AI came along and reignited my curiosity. It's been a massive blessing for me.

Sorry that you feel that way.
