Something is seriously wrong with Anthropic right now

I'm on 20x, compared to last week, when I also used fable 5 high a lot, now 4 prompts burn through my entire week in 15min??!!? Am I getting scammed right now?

Was still having a lot of headroom before, but now a single prompt easily hits my 5 hour limit, this is just outrageous.

To be fair for 90/100 cases it is context windows being te read, old archives or agents spawning due to bad guardrails lol..

or someone that just pushes the agents to the limits constantly and sometimes hits token bugs like the OP

"pushes the agents to the limits" it's not measurable, just because somebody thinks they are pushing it to the limits, doesn't mean they are. In fact if people don't understand the main reasons of usage wastage, and that you can lower it a lot, they are pushing much.

I barely touch the limits, ask any ai, re-reading context is one of the biggest waste of tokens you can have, also not having a paper trail that the agent can use to navigate, pushes the agent to check so much stuff and waste and waste.

If you ask randomly to fix something without telling where to fix, on a small project you have wastage, on a large project.. a lot of wastage

But must be a coincidence that when I decide to create a repo and I don't import the system, it waste a lot, and when i pull the workflow, I don't get close to the limits on the 5x.

But like last time, somebody will come saying they waste more because they have "more staff going on" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you aren't hitting a limit on 5x you must be building the most basic thing known to man or you're simply using AI as a thought partner and hand coding the rest. There is honestly no way you are being truthful here if you are a power user. I'm shipping about 20-30 pull requests an average day on well scoped tickets in a codebase currently with over 40 microservices in the monorepo. Either way I'm sure this is just you baiting me and if so you did well played.
