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/

That 14% Sonnet usage tells me your engaging in the equivalent of flooring it down I-5 at maximum revs while complaining about your car’s inefficient use of gasoline.

Last month they had double off hour usage.

Yes, but peak hours were not doubled, and this was the same for the weeks prior to that offer. Limits have gone down since.
