I agree about the leverage point, but it was definitely possible to be a coding customer at $20/mo before, especially with Sonnet.

My leverage is i’m canceling my plan. Openai gives me codex+chatgpt for my $20. I use my claude code sparingly, but I enjoyed it and it works great when I needed it. Access to it was a reason they got my money a few months ago and it’s been a shit show of reduction of services since.
