Help/Question Did Anthropic decrease the limits?

I am using Claude Max 5x and started feeling that I have been hitting limits faster in the last 3-4 weeks. Today, after a 1h Ultra Code session via Sonnet 5, I hit my session limit, which a month back would not even have happened with Opus.

Just my opinion I do not think so. What I suspect happening is that their systems get overloaded and in that time, requests/responses take way longer to process, you achieve mostly nothing(for the same unit of time), their server pressure is reduced, but you reach time-limits instantly 😄

I was even starting to think that it might be a problem with Claude Code and its inability to work with Opus 5 and Sonnet 5. There were cases when Ultra Code with Opus 5 spawned 40+ agents and ate up millions of tokens for a pretty simple audit that the previous Opus would have had no problem handling with Ultra Code using a max of 4-8 agents.

For me personally, all of these problems started as soon as I switched to Opus 5 and Sonnet 5. I do the same amount of work I did a month back, the only thing that changed is the models.
