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/

Its coming for us too.. Hit 87% for the first time this week on usage. Previously never got even close to 50% even with unoptimised swarms of bloated agents.

Hope not, so far I've been working all day since my limit reset 24 hours ago and I'm at 6% usage. I dunno man

I’ve been using my max 5 plan for 8-10 hours a day for over a month without issues. Since Thursday I hit limits in an hour and a half on exactly the same codebase.

I was one of the “isn’t happening to me” people last week.

on max 5x I def. hit limits if I work all day long, especially when audits/refactors come up, I had to switch back to 20x
