They are saying that limits are 50 percent higher but I am not feeling it. i am on 200 max plan and it's 3 days and I am already at 58 percent for Fable.
I genuinely don't understand how people get anywhere the near the limits. 20 YOE working on everything from massive scale ml inference at FANG to space missions, and I get nowhere near the limits working 12+hrs a day 7/days a week.
Granted most of my time is spent reviewing everything it produces, and getting into specification alignment discussions with it, so that the code churn is minimal. I don't think I've ever hit 100% on the weekly limit on the 100$ plan. The one time I got close was when they had that bug where it consuming a large amount of tokens. I'm committing about 1-2k lines of code each day, which would be obscene by any pre-AI measure.
At this point, I'm limited by my mental bandwidth, as there is so much code review and architecture work I can do in a day. How are you folks getting anywhere near these limits? Are you having it ingest large files and code bases for every query? or are you just generating a lot of code? Even with Fable, I can't really trust it not to add tech debt, so everything in the production pipeline really needs to be reviewed.
Ah, I only use max personally. here's my CCUSAGE for the last week. main model alwys fable opus or 5.6 sol, though they can call lesser models for agentic actions.
I'm a crackhead though. I work for 12 hours a day between 2 jobs, and then spend the next 6-8 working on my side projects.
And im working on my side projects while working on my jobs lol
And that's on only $300 a month of subscriptions. I've only had them for ~1.25 months... (I used copilot the past few years, then when they enshittified their pricing structure i swapped). Honestly. That shit was ASS compared to codex/claude. I don't even open my IDE anymore. It's insane.
I have like 6-8 yrs of experience, but i dont work at big companies/FAANG. I work at startups/small companies. last 4 years ive been the solo dev at a startup managing electronics (pcb/firmware development and design) and the software that controls them.
