What landed
@claudeai announced Cowork research-preview updates (session renaming, connector improvements, fixes from early feedback) and noted: since Cowork handles more complex work, Pro users may hit their usage limit sooner.
Why it matters
Honest capacity framing is rare and useful. Heavier agents burn quotas; the product said the quiet part out loud.
Satire margin
We filed the confession. The upgrades are the feature. The limit is the plot.
