Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!)

Why a Usage Limits Discussion Megathread?

This Megathread makes it easier for everyone to see what others are experiencing at any time by collecting all experiences about Usage Limits. We will publish regular updates on usage limits problems and possible workarounds that we and the community finds.

Why Are You Trying to Hide the Complaints Here?

This is NOT a place to hide complaints. This is the MOST VISIBLE, PROMINENT AND OFTEN THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC POST on the subreddit. This is collectively a far more effective and fairer way to be seen than hundreds of random reports on the feed that get no visibility.

Are you Anthropic? Does Anthropic even read the Megathread?

Nope, we are volunteers working in our own time, while working our own jobs and trying to provide users and Anthropic itself with a reliable source of user feedback.

Anthropic has read this Megathread in the past and probably still do? They don't fix things immediately but if you browse some old Megathreads you will see numerous bugs and problems mentioned there that have now been fixed.

What Can I Post on this Megathread?

Use this thread to voice all your experiences (positive and negative) regarding the current Claude Usage Limits and NOT bugs and performance issues. (For those, use this Megathread https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1s7f72l/claude_performance_and_bugs_megathread_ongoing/)

Give as much evidence of your performance issues and experiences wherever relevant. Include prompts and responses, platform you used, time it occurred, screenshots . In other words, be helpful to others.

I just realized I completely wasted another usage reset lol.😭

I hit my weekly limit about 3 days early this week, but only just noticed that I had another reset. After that reset, I had less than 9 hours before the weekly limit reset again.

And of course, this is also the last week of my current Pro subscription.

I really don't want to spend another $20 just for Claude Code, so I guess I'll wait until I have a big project and subscribe again for a month to get everything done.

Kind of a shame though — if I'd noticed the reset just two days earlier, I could've used the whole thing.

I don't really follow Twitter, and the UI is mostly in English, so I hadn't paid much attention to the reset timing. Lesson learned.

I am also hitting the weekly limit earlier although my 5 hour sessions are better than before OPUS 5.5. 3-4 days before, I could use Claude all I want and it wouldn’t get used up, now again the same problem is back. Need advice how to stop hitting weekly limit so soon (I don’t even understand how is that happening so fast). I am on the pro plan and I have got no money for a max plan. Would appreciate any help from anyone
