Tried

so I got laid off in february and I've been keeping my cursor and claude subscriptions running because honestly they help me build stuff faster and I'm working on a side project. but $200/mo for cursor started feeling insane when theres no paycheck coming in so I went to cancel before I could even click confirm they hit me with 50% off. instantly. no survey no nothing just... please stay same week claude started giving me free API calls out of nowhere. I'm on their pro plan and suddenly theres 100 free calls one day, 100 more the next. no email about it, just showed up in my account idk maybe I'm reading too much into this but... their main customers are software engineers right? and we're getting laid off left and right. 90k+ in 2026 so far. every one of those people had subscriptions to tools like these. so of course churn is going up the thing that worries me as an engineer tho is what happens to the tools we're building our entire workflows around if the pricing model starts cracking? like I've restructured how I work completley around cursor + claude. if one of them starts struggling financially thats actually a problem for me are other engineers seeing the same thing? and honestly if you got laid off are you keeping your AI subs or cutting them first?
