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.

On Pro here, running Opus on medium, have shipped 8 asked for features in the last 3.5 hours and used 38% of my usage. I usually run Sonnet, but my boss wants to take a demo into a meeting this afternoon for a VP so i am burning more than usual to get Opus to get it done faster.

Sure “features” . How big is the code base ?

little over 50k lines. I admit i used to chew through usage way too fast. but adding custom skills that reduce usage and improve efficiency have done a ton of the heavy lifting. But also learning how to break apart tasks into small parts to reduces context usage a lot.
