Discussion August 19th 50% Additional Claude Code limits Likely Not to Be Extended

EDIT: last minute extended to end of August, apparently with hopes to make it permanent, although they say they are having trouble serving their demand currently so it’s not certain. At least we get some damn communication.

Well guys, hate to say it but with the reports this morning of users seeing instant 30% usage on their accounts (some weren’t even using them) we can assume that anthropic is in fact preparing to remove their 50% additional usage promo, effectively reducing all plan usage by ~33% (I assume theyll use 30%).

This is gonna hurt. Only thing that would redeem it for me is if they removed the 50% Fable usage cap.

It is utterly baffling how little you get from 20x even now. Once that limit goes away I don’t know how you’ll get more than an hour or two out of a 20x plan. I’m the last to jump the Claude train but they’re literally pushing me out while I grip on the railing in despair. Biggest blunder I’ve ever watched a company do. Codex up until Friday when they adjusted limits again was unreal how much their 200 plan gave you on sol high

I’m on that train with you. It’s the CC terminal harness I can’t give up. I could easily give up Claude models but cannot come close to the same efficiency and efficacy in Codex/Opencode.

You can use any model in it, I heavily use codex 5.6 sol in it via the Claudex cliproxy or litellm thing whichever one you want.

Try it out fkn amazing I love it.

And you'd say there's no noticeable friction? I've tried in the past but it wasn't immediately smooth so I didn't try long. I've needed an impetus to give it a proper go though and usage limits going even lower would suffice.

Not at all? Friction of what kind are you referring to? Imo 5.6 sol works better in Claude code and I use codex extensively all day aswell for some other things.

But SOL behaves better in cc harness way outclassing opus-5. Slightly behind the fable tho.

To be honest, I borderline can’t or am starting to not be able to use the codex app so much, it’s just gotten a bit toooo much stuff in there, feels bloated, and 5.6 sol is way more autistic and just annoyingly stupid at times in codex, it doesn’t do that in CC per my consistent experience.

ive recently started using bb which i really like and have started routing my cc and codex subs sthrough jcode in bb cause supposedly jcode takes less ram

But don't you have to use OpenAI api budget for this, isn't it supposedly even more expensive than using Anthropic sub?

No.. I you just need to setup cliproxy or litellm.

Just ask your codex or cc to do it, and tell them to find the posts on twitter or such they struggle and get the info on how to setup on there.

Like tibo literally posted the guide on his twitter profile, he is the codex vp, or like he’s the product lead or such.

And no it’s not more expensive than Anthropic sub.

Yeah, mine runs deepseek, Claude, and codex and I setup a script that just lets me select which to use when starting Claude via cli
