AI service users face billing woes and non-existent support

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Users are reporting significant issues with customer support for AI services, specifically concerning billing and account management. One user detailed a frustrating seven-week ordeal with Anthropic's support, involving fraudulent charges, a bot that advised chargebacks leading to subscription cancellation, and an inability to reach a human agent. Similarly, another user is experiencing a persistent billing glitch with Cursor, where a paid invoice is still marked as unpaid, preventing account upgrades, and is also unable to get effective assistance from AI support.
