Amazon Bedrock has even worse uptime than Anthropic (see "Uptime" column).

But I agree with the general point that using the API (with different providers) will have better uptime and that it will almost certainly be cheaper.

If its not cheaper, just subscribe, but subscribing outright doesnt make sense

> I doubt you would spend 200 bucks a month in AWS on bedrock even with daily use of claude.

I can _easily_ burn $20/hour of credits in Cline/RooCode. Before switching to Cursor, full-time software dev could easily burn $100+/week.

With intensive coding with claude 3.7, you could easily be at $5/hr - $10/hr. Per token pricing rans the meter very fast.

Yeah if you're doing a big coding session up near the limits of context even with prompt caching each reply can be ~80¢ or something, so you can definitely blow through $200 on the API if you are using it heavily.
