As soon as I signup and install Claude Code, I see this:
Claude Code is at capacity
Claude Code is currently experiencing high demand. Anthropic has paused sign ups to provide the best possible service to customers. We’ll notify you when we have a spot for you!
So now I can't even use what I paid for. Not even once. No surprise, my team is cancelling our subscription and not giving it a shot. Ridiculous.
I was considering signing up today, based on this I won’t.
I have had a great experience with gemini-cli, which may interest you: it only requires a google account to setup and you get a decent chunk of gemini 2.5 pro usage for free!
Leaving this message here as a warning to anyone who might make the same mistake as me!
* Edit: Just realized we can do usage based billing and you can create a team in there. It was difficult to figure all this out. I think we don't need a "Team" account any more. My guess is they're going to add Claude Code to the Team plan soon and they're just in-between those changes, making it confusing.

* Your team were reluctant to use this AI tool, yet did so because you put effort into getting them to
* Anthropic was preventing you from using/signing up(?) and they were using this prevention to manage their load, which was apparently too high
* Your team, already not really wanting to use it, didn't use it because of a 1-time hurdle
* You are out money because of this
Is that the summary?
