Cancelling Claude subscription renewal immediately revokes Design access

Sun, 05/10/2026 - 9:29am

Starting today, Anthropic now immediately revokes Claude Design access if you cancel your subscription plan renewal, even while you're still in a valid period. I had a Claude 20x max plan and cancelled my automatic renewal this month (last week)

On https://claude.ai/settings/billing I see "Your subscription will be canceled on May 13, 2026."

Up until a few hours ago I was still able to use Claude Design and was actively working on a project. Now I'm locked out with this message:

"Claude Design is available to users on subscription plans." in spite of having 3 more days of "max access."

This feels incredibly gross and I'm considering a chargeback through my credit card. Does anyone have experience getting through to their customer support? It seems like its all chatbot generated.

Beginners don't trust the command line

Sun, 05/10/2026 - 9:17am

After learning Git in the summer, I went to my some of my friends and classmates who study CS and told them: "I'm going to force you to learn Git". I don't want to work alone!

One thing kept happening over and over: whenever I explained how branches work and how we switch branches, and I showed them how files do change in the working directory (using ls command -- in either WSL or git bash), they nodded and thought it made sense. Then I open the file explorer (finder) and show them that the files DO change; they go quiet for a second, "wow" they say. It's as if the command line isn't something concrete.

Show HN: OpenTelemetry x DuckDB(Ducklake) x Clojure

Sun, 05/10/2026 - 9:06am

O11yLite is a free, open-source OpenTelemetry backend built on DuckDB/Ducklake, SQLite, Clojure.

I started this as a project to build an observability stack for my homelab. After years of using the established OSS tools, they felt fragmented, had a steep learning curve, and often inflexible. I wanted to build a Honeycomb-like experience that unifies logs, metrics, and traces in a single tool that can be as easy to deploy as possible and free.

Specifically, I wanted it to - work well with the wide events pattern. - have sufficiently high throughput on a single host. - treat both human and agent interfaces as first-class citizens.

I initially planned to build on ClickHouse, but switched to DuckDB to keep distribution dead simple. I was also inspired by Motherduck's [Perf is not enough](https://motherduck.com/blog/perf-is-not-enough/) post. When DuckLake came out around the same time last year, it felt like the right foundation had just arrived. How good would it be if your OpenTelemetry backend just operate on a directory of Parquet files? So here it is: a small, open-source tool in an era where LLMs dominate the headlines. Hope some people find it useful.
