I can’t find any indication it was ever sold as unlimited.
It always had limits and those limits were not specified as concrete numbers.
It’s amazing how much of the internet outrage is based on the idea that it was unlimited and now it’s not. The main HN thread yesterday was full of comments complaining about losing unlimited access.
It’s so weird to watch people get angry about thinking they’re losing something they never had. Even Anthropic said less than 5% of accounts would even notice the new limits, yet I’ve seen countless comments raging that “everyone must suffer” due to the actions of a few abusing the system.
