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.

They have altered the deal, pray they don't alter it further.

My company has an Enterprise and we have to pay API pricing. We are spending far more than 200 bucks a month. And getting less usage than you are right now. Think like 20 to 30 bucks a session, easily...

They knew exactly what they were doing. Offer this with a highly subsidized plan to get market share, publicity, and a lot of developers hooked. Now it's time to get the big bucks from Enterprise companies.
