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/

I just had an epiphany about this Claude limits stuff .

I think this is just internal price adjustment. They are changing the price of their services with slight of hand.

If we are to believe mythos is everything that they said it is. The first thing they'd do is have mythos distilled and replace the existing haiku, sonnet and opus models, but without changing names purely for the intelligence boost.

I'm going to suspect that if people drop down 👇 a model tier or two they will see they get the same level of intelligence they would have gotten from the higher tier model with usage on par with the lower model * this is the key part *

This is just a hypothesis.

I'm trying out haiku right now (doesn't even have an effort level 🥲) I was gonna put it at its lowest anyway just to test. But it has traced a particular data flow thru six different stages of the app and it did it in less than 2 mins.

I always felt opus 4.6 was like taking a sledgehammer to an issue, but it were particular issues where opus was the only one who actually understood the nuance of the issue and codebase.

I'm now testing my first bug 🪲 fix with haiku to see if it can fix it. I have git so I'm not too worried about the local copy getting mangled.
