User reports 100x Anthropic API charge; public reply says form bug is being fixed
Developing 2 sources
An English Hacker News complaint alleges a 100-fold API credit recharge error; a commenter identifying himself as an Anthropic employee acknowledges an internationalization form bug and says a fix is underway.
What happened lately
The October 16 thread concerns prepaid Anthropic API credits, not a model subscription. The complainant says an intended $5.04 recharge became a $504 base charge, with local tax raising the reported total to $569.52. A response by jordn acknowledges a form internationalization issue and promises support follow-up. The thread does not establish that a refund or production fix has completed, and the two accounts differ on whether the typed decimal separator was a dot or comma.
