    All that keeps jumping out at me is how they've set it to refuse giving users thinking tokens and prompts for full reasoning in output. Just drives me further away; I may not stop using Claude completely for now, but I'll be moving even more of my primary workload to Chinese providers. That's where openness and freedom is now at.

      The whole notion of seat-based pricing seems wrong to me as well.

        Seat-based pricing just includes a certain amount of token usage at a discount for buying in "bulk" (and risking not using all your usage). You can still pay the API token-based rates if you really want to; they won't stop you from doing that.
