Anthropic offering discounts to old users — anyone else receive this? (IPO push?)
Anthropic is reportedly offering discounts to former subscribers in an effort to win back users. One user, who had switched to Codex on GPT 5.6 release, received an email with a discount offer to return to Anthropic. This move has led to speculation that the company might be trying to bolster its user numbers in anticipation of an IPO push.

Old subscriber here—switched over to Codex on GPT 5.6 release, but Anthropic just emailed me a discount offer to come back.
Wondering if they're actively trying to win back churned users to bolster numbers ahead of an IPO push. Has anyone else received this lately?
