| |||||||||||| 1 point by | We just received an email from Anthropic, which mentions that we have been overcharged for several months. They do not mention the nature of the error or the magnitude. Did anyone else receive something similar? Curious how widespread this is. I'm surprised and concerned that they sent the notification after business hours on a Friday with "[No action required]" in the subject. | ||||||||||| |
