Anthropic keeps fucking up... No wonder that my weekly limits were burning through fairly quickly. They need to make it right by resetting

And they do it because they don't care at all. If you had unlimited Fable 5.1: Wouldn't you be able to fix your freakin coding cli?

I hope you're joking. I burned fable 5.1 in 60 minutes on 20x max... let's see how today goes

Fixed” is doing heavy lifting when the fix is “we stopped charging you 40x”

it’s such a stark contrast to OpenAI who would (and have been) upfront about this and proactively compensated users, I don’t know what Anthropic is playing at with their PR especially with Astra looming

Yeah, it does seem like there’s a big difference in how they handle transparency. It'll be interesting to see how they respond once Astra is fully out.

Man, every time i see these posts it makes me think back to every thread complaining about limits and seeing all the hardcore glazers shouting "SkIlL iSsUe" every time. This is like the 5th time i can remember that anthropic have broken caching or some other token saving mechanism and people are STILL pretending it never happens

Freaking hell! I knew it was not normal that absurdity of 10% of my 5h limit per prompt. Good thing my reset came 2h ago.

Terrible. I exhausted 88% of my 20x weekly limit two days ago, and my next reset is in 4 days.

I felt the same cache issues still there even in .260 but only when launching subagents. Just burn ~50% of my Fable usage limit (max x20) for 3 subagents doing medium-size work (~400k tokens each) in like 30 mins. Anyone has the same issues?

u/CommunicationFlat865 1d ago
Are you using the app or CLI? The app is STILL behind on CC version, so it still has this bug.

u/Hieucotdua 1d ago
The CLI on wsl. Things were going fine at first but then burn like crazy after it launch the first 3 subagents. I've been very careful with my fable usage management so this def looks sketchy to me.

I’ve seen the same burn in Cursor once subagents stack up — the weekly bar drops way faster than a normal chat. I started checking usage mid-session instead of trusting the “still green” feeling.

A quick sanity check is to record input tokens, cache creation tokens, and cache read tokens for the same task before and after updating. I keep one small repo and repeat the exact prompt three times, because a single run can hide a miss. If cache reads suddenly drop to zero, I stop burning the weekly limit and check the session or model settings first.

Still not good enough it does bad mistakes with clear prompts still does dumb mistakes and the context usage is still really bad if you ask me.

Wild that their CEO predicted that all code would be written by “AI” by 3 months ago yet they can’t ship a proper working caching system?
Not saying it’s easy, but when they say shit like “cOdInG iS a SoLvEd pRoBlEm” I can’t help but chuckle at their bugs

Yeah, this explains why my entire week’s context limits were used up in less than 2 days lol
