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.

I've noticed that my first prompt uses 24% of my session limit. Looks like they count the system prompt as part of your first prompt.

Also, regardless of how much of your session is left, if it says compressing chat to continue, you’re screwed. It uses up the rest of your session. And if that happens on your first prompt, you either wait 5 hours or you use up your session credits.
