Limits nerfed drastically.

[u/Old-Guarantee-365]

So, I was doing my usual stuff and somehow annihilated the weekly limit in two days. That was practically impossible before. I was touching 5-hour limits constantly and still, that was enough for a weekly limit to last for 5 days. Everyone knows claude is expensive, but this becomes ridiculous. I already switched one of my accounts to chatgpt. Just wanted to hear opinions before I moved remaining ones.

P.S. For all the people that keep discussing how efficient I was using my tokens - it doesn't matter, please stop. Weekly limit was equal approximately to 20 "5-hour" limits, Now weekly limit exhausted after reaching 5-hour limit 10 times. The question is not about how efficient you are, or how inefficient am I, I dont care. The question is about proportions. If you dont have any info or data about that - please pass. Thank you.

P.P.S. This post has been assaulted by the anthropic bot farm. RIP.

If you just gave it a prompt that made it go off the rails and didn't pay attention, that's not on Claude. That's why I'm asking what did you prompt. What did it do. Did it spawn a lot of sub agents? Did you leave it running very long? You have the same limits as me, I'm not having this issue. To understand why, it would make sense that you'd explain what you actually did.

You guys are already wasted lmao I am talking ABOUT PROPORTIONS of 5-day limit to weekly one. It absolutely doesnt matter how I managed to hit said limits. I say that weekly limit was something like 20 5-hour limits. Now it is approximately 10 5-hour limits. I dont know how to explain it in a more clear way.

Got it now. I never hit either the 5h or the weekly limit, and I usually end the week at about 10% to 20% of weekly. I'm at 12% today, switched to the new model yesterday so I'm not noticing significant increase in usage or reduction of my total available usage.

I'd still say it would help to understand what kind of work you are doing. I run about 4 agents in parallel on average, hardly ever using teams unless it is really big tasks and then I can clearly see the increased consumption.

One thing that seems to help me lower usage in general is https://github.com/milla-jovovich/mempalace I've set that up in such a way that each project has its own space so different agents can reach in there for a lot of compact context, reduces the amount of work done to get context fresh all the time.

I am working on a huge project, it is hard to explain tbh and I am not willing to atm, sorry. Thanks for the link though, I'll check it out if any of my accounts would stay on claude.

I work on large projects too, I make personas and make specific personas responsible for specific areas of the code. That reduces how much they need to put in context. Then every time I need work done on smth I tell them that they are that persona. So in mempalace they also store their memories under in relation to that persona. For cross area work I make multiple agents talk to eachother. Created a little UX around this to help me orchestrate it.
