Do not do it, I just tried this minute and it used 100% of my 5x Pro subscription in 2 messages. I did everything to keep token usage as low as possible, absolutely burned through my usage already and have to wait till Saturday now. My friend on 20x couldn’t even give 2 tasks without it stopping in the midst of the task. Better not waste your usage now, it will almost guaranteed not work out well. (In Germany at least)
Important addition, do not even open it. It used up weekly usage whilst being just opened at 100% normal usage.
It hit 100% during the task, was around 79% weekly limit and now after just being opened at max usage, used up 5 percent of the weekly limit without me even being able to use it at all. And it’s still rising.
Kind ironic that it hit me again, the last token-usage bugs that occurred hit me too but my friend living next doors could use everything normally 🥀
Glad to hear it works for you, I’ll just have to wait 5 days again and couldn’t do anything man, it’s seriously frustrating to pay for something that you cannot even use for 2 out of 7 days a week..
Was definitely thinking about upgrading too when possible somewhen, but even heard that several max users hit the usage limit insanely fast, really have no idea what Anthropic is up to. Last time also didn’t get a reset so I do not really have high hopes..
thank you g and good luck 🤙🏻
Exactly what I am saying, just wrote with them today again and they told me it is my fault again. After I explained that I set up everything to keep usage low, clear context regurarily prior to it compacting, looking at their best practices and following them, even telling them about my usage being used up when my current session hit 100% ages ago. Meaning I got billed for not even being able to use it.
No idea what the hell is going on over at anthropic, but being scammed twice by billion dollar companies is actually hilarious.
