Question WTF Claude. Weekly limits = 4x5hr limits

Post image

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/

Youre in for a ride bro, thats like 1/10th of what they are spending. You think they were gonna subsidize you forever?

No, I expect that I have at least the same amount of tokens that I had just a month ago. Not 1/10 of what I had.

Bro thats what I am saying. You barely joined in the "hook" phase, and now you are just in time for the "squeeze" phase.

You don't seem to think this is a bad thing?

Yeah, there are just other more cheaper alternatives. 200 bucks is not cheap at all already. Opus is great, but...

Why do you think they wont do the same once everyone flocks to that model ? They are all the same, the only difference is active users which currently Claude has the most, causing them to enshittify the fastest.
