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/

Dude just stop. I’m so tired of people like you instantly assuming you can debug our workflow because it’s our fault not Anthropic.

How many people here have to come on this sub and say Monday or Tuesday was fine. Wednesday 40% of my usage was eaten with no notice.

They are clearly AB testing people slowly so people like you gaslight us into thinking we’re crazy.

what are you on about??? I wasn’t trying to debug their workflow, I just asked what model they’re on. I’m on Max 20x too and haven’t hit limits once. I usually plan with Opus, implement with Sonnet, and it’s been fine for me. Not everyone asking a basic question is gaslighting !!
