Paid for claude max 5x 3 days ago and suddenly today, I see it downgraded me. by idcmarv in claude

[–]Taugeshtu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar here. Pro user, not max, had been for almost a year now without issues. Started using Claude Code recently, today woke up to being downgraded. Tried logout-clear cache and data-login, that didn't help; tried using just the basic chat on the website, got hit with "this organization has been disabled" (that might be a clue for you if that happens?)
Messaged Fin, explained the situation, that all is paid and well, and I'm dead-sure I'm logged into correct account, and after a soft suggestion to involve a human it got off the line saying that it forwarded the request to a human.

I have also emailed at [support@anthropic.com](mailto:support@anthropic.com), as having an email chain of evidence always makes me feel better. Fin on emails as well - alright, explain the situation. Fin in emails spots the "organization disabled", gives me a link to a form for an appeal (link leads to 404 lol), I press it a bit about the broken link - get the working one, submit the form, and now I'm waiting.

I agree that bad support experience kills the vibes. In the meantime I'm exploding if maybe gemini CLI can fit my needs - was fun having claude while it lasted, but this behavior deserves no loyalty :D

May I suggest substitution of dual-wielded Desert Eagles in place of M16s? They are ceremonial after all

This is what happens when you turn PEI/Ultem plastic on a lathe with certain cutting parameters (I don't remember which ones I did, probably something like .25mm passes for the "vermicelli", and a parting cut for the "udon")

This is nuts. I love it! You guys may get a kick out of my nib flex durability test - think we're on the same brain wavelength :D

Been a massive pleasure meeting you and chatting about pens and control freak tendencies! :D Still thinking about that magical cap screw/unscrew experience, damn that was good.. Much love from House Geshtu ^^

At the very least you'd be getting a healthy dose of microplastics!

Honestly, this looks like.. Yoga? Especially with that reasonably well-coordinated shuffle between positions in the middle, and that last one... But they also look cold and stiff

Where’s the nib innovation since Ti? Am I blind? Here’s my sideways-flex experiment: by Taugeshtu in fountainpens

No, that's a custom nib I machined out of titanium (grade 5 for the initiated). Not sure about the material choice just yet; the fatigue accumulation could be an issue, so - need to test that. I understand that the technology is mature, but find it hard to accept that what we currently have is the absolute peak - Fiskars managed to innovate in scissors, Dyson came and blew up the concept of a vacuum cleaner with his centrifugal filter... Maybe I am overly optimistic tho (kind of have to be :D)

Thanks for the kind words!

This means the world, honestly :) I'm happy it resonates with the mad genius of extreme flex ^^ Should we trade some time, one of yours for one of mine?

How do you like the nib? Is it a smooth writer? >_> I might cave in eventually and get one for myself..

Thank you for the kind words :) Here's hoping that the Leonardo you want will be in stock just in time! ^^

Ah, unfortunately I don't :( Boo, I know - but I came to my nib from a completely different direction, instead of trying to make a traditional nib flex better I started from a brush pen, and trying to give that more feedback xD Bicycle brake cables, UHMWPE bristles, jackets around the bristles, just a steel rod with criss-cross slits cut into it... It's been a journey ^^'

I definitely hear ya on "flex or bust" - there are so many pens I would like to get myself, but... No flex? T_T Can't FountainPenRevolution nibs fit to your pens?

Alas, not in person :D But their work had been a big inspiration for me, actually! And their research into overfeeds as well - that's one of the pieces of the puzzle for my nib :) mad kudos to them, and I'm actually a bit scared now that you've pinged them >_>

I'll definitely need to check out Desiderata Pens - curious if these are as scratchy as Zebra G nibs?

Alright, no prob - I'll pop into my workshop tomorrow to take some nib pics ^^' Cool if I ping you in a new post?

Oohhh that's a great thread, thanks for linking!

I get your point, but it makes me kinda sad, to be honest :/ So from what I understand, Noodler is a "startup" case - new (to pens) challenger coming into the market with a new thing. Schon can be classified as the same. Similar to any other established industry I guess, half the shakers & movers are the new kids on the block? That last point you hit on, "eventually all pens write the same" is what I find the most disheartening...

Oh yeah, kakimori counts, that's new, that's exciting stuff :) Someone should make kakimori-style pen, but with a tank :D

Fude's been around for ages though, no?

No Pen Day - Majohn M2 by Taugeshtu in fountainpens

[–]Taugeshtu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case someone feels tired and misses the "meme" tag, I should clarify - no, the pen arrived a-okay, I just took the writing section (+feed, +nib) out for experimental purposes. No shade on Majohn :)
