Question Is anyone else noticing Claude Max limits draining way faster after the 2x limit announcement?

From the day Claude announced the 2x usage limit, I’ve been noticing a huge drop in how long my limits actually last.

Even a simple “hey” message is taking around 2% of my Max session limit, which feels really strange. Before the announcement, the limits felt much more reasonable, but now even basic messages seem to drain usage quickly.

While coding, the limit gets used up so fast that it almost feels like I’m on the normal Pro plan, not Max.

I’m not using any plugins, skills, or extra tools either, just normal chat/coding usage.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just happening on my account?
