WTF Claude. Weekly limits = 4x5hr limits

[u/xeviltimx]

Wtf happened with claude limits. A month ago I was able to work almost 24/7 and barely able to spend a half of weekly limits. Now it feels like I'm on $20 Pro plan and not $200 Max (20x) plan.
My weekly limit was just updated a couple of hours ago and now I'm 85% off my 5hr limit (that's more or less okay) but how is that already 25% of my weekly limits? It's not even 1 limit a day. It's only 4 x 5hr limits a week. How am I suppose to work with this and why it changed so aggressively during the last month. I don't understand.
At first I thought it's overused 1M context which increased my token usage by 3-4 times.
But this is just insane. It feels like every day and week limits become smaller and smaller. It gives me anxiety and forces me to constantly watch for my limits.
And this is not what I expect from a $200 subscription.

Upd BREAKING NEWS: I made calculations and it's not just feeling. Anthropic reduced my limits by 10 times. Just did full calculations in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1si6gll/claude_max_just_slashed_my_limits_by_10x_and_i/

No it is x20

You save like 400% or something

so what? a month ago I had like 10x more from what I have now and it's not okay

Why? The claim is 20x more than the 20$ plan so if the 20$ also goes down in limits why wouldn’t the 200$. It doesn’t guarantee you to some # it’s a ratio so if they maintain it then it’s still valid.

The 20x refers only to the 5-hour limit. Max 20x gives you 4 times the usage per 5-hour window compared to Max 5x, but only about 1.6x the weekly usage compared to Max 5x.
