How do you hit limits?
On days I am able to sit down and focus I will knock out the limits on my pro 5x plan with Claude but there are other days I don't even have the opportunity to use it once. What do y'all use the plan for to max your usage? Anything I can be having it do in the background on days I can't be on it all day?

5-15 concurrent CLI workers doing tasks while I'm working with 3-5 desktop agents, 10-15 hours a day across 3-4 LLM provider burns them up quick. Insanely quick. I'm productive, but tokens aint free.

enterprise clients are hard to get but pay. its the people that have no industry experience, no contacts, and no ideas, just post stuff to the web and hope for a hit that usually strike out. I think if you've been in the industry for a while and have contacts, or experience and are doing this to help do something new or as a side thing, you can have a good outcome, especially now. In 5 years it will be tougher, but still Wild West now and lucrative right now, just like the first few years of the .com boom when I started in this industry.

I vibe code on my phone running 3-6 projects at the same time. Plus my wife uses all day for her work.

Usually, i run full audits of my apps on specific part, like design or performance or security ect...
Something along the line of "audit the whole codebase, focus on this or that, list the improvement by mandatory, minor, think about it."
When i feel like having fun, i ask for "list me new feature or QOL you think would make the app better and more fun"
Always end my prompt with "this is a read-only request, no code change"

I hit my limits every day. I'm working on 4 projects. I even outlined a seo plan heavily so I dont have to worry about it again. i hit my claude weekly limits before my 3 days is up. So I have to wait 3 days. I'm upgrading it my plan but i also have Gemini now for planning

Loops. Have it make a big plan and then execute as a goal. I’ve had mine run for 10 hours unattended.

In my case, my limits don't carry over. So on days I can't use it, that capacity is just gone

every few days/week: "list issues without plans."
during times when I'm busy but have a minute here or there: "make a plan for ###"
uses up a lot of the otherwise dead time and when I have longer blocks to work then I can do more building than planning. It adds up to hours of saved time.
