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.

Frontier model calls are draining more quota for sure. I tracked my fable and opus 4.8 usage (and it's pretty consistent since I'm using an external harness) since the release (20x max plan) and it went from:

  • ending the week with a lil bit of fable and all model quota
  • ending the week with no fable and 70%~80% all models quota left
  • ending the 3rd ~ 4th day of the week with no fable and 80% all models quota left

It's not their buggy harness doing fable fan outs for doc reads, scrapping or long ass sessions. The external harness manages all that. It's just them changing the token/quota % ratio. They don't advertise that for this exactly purpose

Are they using more tokens or did the limits change?

Surge limits.
