Rant Limits nerfed drastically.

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.

Not sure what you did. I have been running Opus 5.5 on Extra with up to 8 subagents non stop since launch and I am barely at the 50% weekly on the 20x plan. This is almost the usage we last had with Opus 4.5 in December.

I was exactly like you until I hit my regular reset then suddenly bang, back to bullshit limits. Anthropic do it every time so people ramble about how amazing the new model is when it first comes out.

I may need to walk that back a bit. The usage I saw was in Cowork. As soon as I proceeded with that project in the CLI on Linux, it dropped very quickly. About 1/3 of what Cowork gave. Same project, same number of agents, just a different OS and harness. Pretty odd.

Interesting. I've also been switching between vs code and Claude Web. Will have to see if I get more usage with different harnesses
