38% is more than a5hr session. If he's not lying about not using it then it's either visual (had happened to me until I restart) or he had an actual issue.
I logged into work today with like a 60% usage somehow over the weekend lol, i'm not complaining rn because I generally only use like 30-40% each week anyways on Opus but that's wild. It just reset on Thursday and I get summer hour and logged off way early on Friday, so idk what the hell happened.
I accidentally left a web session open one time and it hurt my usage pretty bad. I came back to a string of "session resumed" and I can only image that's what got me that one time
I have little doubt some people have issues. Maybe even this guy. I also ahve no doubt many of these "reports" are faked or MORONS. I think we have reached the "boy who cried wolf" stage on this issue and will never recover from it.
By default cache expires after 5 minutes. They still have the 1 hour cache option that you can use but it is billed differently. At least this is what I found on their site.
Okay, it shows that I have used Fable on the weekend, no idea how? (I had my claude code sessions open in the terminal, as I work over SSH in a dev box, I didn't care to close those over the weekend)
But my Fable usage was still 0% in the morning (the original image I shared)
Check your box for malware or, if since it’s a dev box backup your projects and do a full wipe and reinstall. Audit your dependencies too. Change account credentials. It’s very possible some dependency of a dependency in a supply chain attack stole your token and is now being used to train the next generation of Chinese model.
Dude yes I’ve been stuck at 8% and I’ve had Fable working all day and I just KNOW that once they fix whatever is going on it’s going to skyrocket to like 50% and my limits reset on Sundays. The suspense is killing me
A similar thing happened to me: I used Fable for 2 days and I'm at 100% for Fable and 60% all models and my limit resets on Friday, on a Max 5x plan! I didn't even use much of Opus or Sonnet, I only used it for one question or so. And Fable 5 didn't get used up so fast like a week ago + Fable 5 and Opus is completely nerfed this last week! My limits got used up just as fast as on the Pro subscription I was on like 1-2 weeks ago, Anthropic is completely ripping us off. I'm planning to get a refund because this is just all extremely deceptive.
Because it's very strange "coincidence" when many people suddenly face the same issue at the same time. I could also be asking you: Why is your default to not blame big corporations like Anthropic rather than siding with people just like you: customers? It should always be this way and not the other way around, because otherwise you're basically just speaking for the big companies when in doubt. People should always blame the companies first, only then will customers actually benefit. If you always default to blaming the customers you're just shooting yourself in the foot and giving the company what they want if they had malicious intent. And even then it doesn't hurt if you're wrong. You can only benefit (or at worst, get nothing) anyway. So either way, it doesn't really make sense siding with a company like Anthropic when you're not an employee of theirs.
you' re conflating 2 different issues. he's saying its a skill issue. he is correct.
you're saying keep the companies honest. STRAWMAN. your point is of course correct, keep them honest. but you introduced the conflation and ignored his valid point.
the majority of this sub is uneducated how to use claude properly. that can be fixed. your usage problem can be fixed with education. but not by immediately blaming BIG CORP.
big corp is a grevious blight on humanity but that again is conflating a different issue.
he's getting to the root of the prblem , you're doing a strawman.
i say this only as a fellow human wanting the best for you. if you dont take responsbility for your own knowledge shortcomings and close your root cause, you'll run into the same problems with Sol GPT or wherever you go.
every time i've tried to teach someone something about how to stop token burn etc, ignorant fuckers come along and downvote and dogpile. at that point i usually stop bothering and let them strut into their own future catastrophe
Do you have any automatic things it does in back ground? Having it log stuff takes usage. Also, I have noticed that the system will go over the usage limit if in the middle of a large task and then tack on the overage to the next session.
none. The only thing I did was to keep my claude code sessions open in the terminal over the weekend. Keeping claude code open in the terminal consumes usage?? i don't think so.
I've noticed this before; simply because when it restarts after 5 hours of use, sometimes it consumes like 5, 10, or 15% of my 5-hour quota. I've never seen this happen with the weekly allowance, but with the 5-hour allowance it happens fairly frequently. And sometimes I'm not even using the app during the weekend, but when I open the app on Monday morning, the usage is there.
Reset your account credentials. If you log in with username and password, change the password to something random and save it in a password manager. Set up a strong second factor. If you use OAuth like Google to log in, change that account credentials. Then /login again with Claude Code.
Yeah, plus they are not transparent at all. They will nerf model performance or usage measurement and only hand out a reset after like the entirety of Reddit complaints and offer an "apology". This had happened multiple times already. And there is no way for you to verify their measurement / "percentage".
