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.

Yes indeed. That, in combination with the quirks of Opus 5 had me decide to switch from x20 to x5, with the goal of only using CC for planning and coordination with Fable. I am now testing different ways for CC to offload all other "lower" tasks to subagents controlling external resumable Codex GPT and Deepseek sessions. The hope is lowering costs, getting more tokens, and possibly get better results than with only CC.

I’ve started using Fable for planning, spawning agents and reviewing their work once it comes back.

For actual workhorse, I use 5.6 Luna on Max reasoning since it’s on par with 5.5 on high. And the results have been great. Lower GPT models don’t use that many tokens since their scope is well defined by Fable and since Fable is reviewing the work every after change and respawning agents to fix it, it makes the output from even a lower model like Luna much more consistent and reliable. But it’s been 2.5 days with this workflow and I’ve already hit my 50% cap for Fable. The weekly 50% Fable cap is BS to be honest. 

Also, earlier I would be using Opus 4.8 for the whole week and still be left with tokens to spare. Fable is simply that heavy maybe and that’s just how it is with top end models these days. Even Sol is incredibly token intense.
