Temporary outages do not count, permanent outages count.
Update 2026-04-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarifications on specific scenarios:
Removing older model generations from API (e.g., keeping Sonnet 5 but not older Sonnets) counts as cutting API access
Keeping a mid-tier model but removing top-tier (e.g., keeping Sonnet 5 but not Opus 5) does not count as cutting API access
No requirement to add the most advanced models (e.g., multi-agent scaffolds, 'Pro' equivalents) to the API
Resolution requires access to at least: a mid-tier model from the current generation (e.g., Gemini Flash, Claude Sonnet, GPT Mini) OR the most advanced non-multi-agent model from the previous generation

How would these scenarios resolve?
Anthropic removes Opus from the API but keeps Sonnet
Anthropic releases Claude 5 but only releases Opus 5 to the web UI, not the API. Sonnet 5 is released to both.
The same as above but they add Opus 5 after a week or so
Google never adds the latest Deep Think to the API (same question with ChatGPT Pro which is equivalent I think)
If they keep sonnets from previous generations but not new sonnets that counts imo as cutting api, but keeping sonnet 5 and cutting opus 5 is ok
This is pretty much like 1. In my head, so yeah that wouldnt count as cutting the api access
Same thing
Yeah no requirement to add multi agent scaffolds to api. Nor most advanced non-multi-agent model. But the model after that is required. Eg gemini flash, claude sonnet, gpt N mini. OR the most advanced non multi model from the previous generation, like gpt 5.2 instead of 5.4, claude opus 4.5 instead of 4.6, and gemini 3 pro insteadof gemini 3.1 pro.
im aware of the finickiness but this kinda represents the idea i have in mind the least badly
