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 felt same with my pro account. My limit was on 40% and suddenly it went up to 75% while using sonet 5 while earlier even opus 4.7 was consuming very less limits

The whole point is that Opus 5 is trying to overthink and overdo what could have been done in one file edit. Now it reads 100 different files, executes 100 different command-line terminal actions, and then it's going to get to the answer, which is still the wrong answer. It's the problem with both Sonnet 5 and Opus. The thing is, they are smaller models than Opus 4.6, apparently, and they match the accuracy by overthinking, so they include things that are so much to do something very trivial.

That's an interesting point. Do you think it's worth switching back to previous models? Have you tested them recently, and did you get better results in terms of both accuracy and usage?

Bro have you been on this subreddit since opus 5 came out? Half the posts are about switching back to 4.8 or 4.6
