What are the commons? Why would a tragedy just appear there or of the blue?

I don't understand your comment.

they launched Claude Max (and Pro) as being limited. it was limited before, and it's limited now, with a new limit to discourage 24/7 maxing of it.

in what way was there a bait and switch?

are you going to answer what the bait and switch was?

Bait : "For 200$ a month you get to use Claude 20x more than what the Pro users are entitled to. You don't know how much exactly though, but neither do we. We may limit your usage with weekly and monthly limits. Sounds good?"

Switch: "We limited your usage weekly and monthly. You don't know how those limits were set, we do but that's not information you need to know. However instead of choosing to hoard your usage out of fear of hitting the dreaded limit again, you've kept it again and again, using the product exactly the way it was intended to and now look what you've done."

so there was no bait and switch, you are just complaining about the lack of transparency around the specific limits that they never once said didn't exist
