Generally it is a good practice to keep v.[N] and [N-1] in active deployment. But lately a lot of policies from Anthropic are confusing at best, and at worst plain subscriber-hostile.
If costs are drowning them, they should rather be a bit more honest about the messaging and hike prices of their lower ($20 / $100) tier by ~$10 and enforce stricter limits (optionally).
I liked 4.5 and 4.6, but none of them are available outside of using API now - and thats a bummer given the 2~2.5X overall costs
