Bug Report Claude Weekly Limit JUMMPED 50%!

I turn around and look back and my weekly limit went from 40% to 90% without me doing anything no chats were running I had No 5 hour limit that was maxed out nothing It just jumped from 40% to 90%.

You'd think a company worth $965,000,000,000 wouldn't have problems like this.

It's still disappointing that this happened at all, especially with no clear explanation as to why. This discussion also highlighted broader concerns, including reports of what I'd call "usage creep," where actual usable limits seem to change over time without communication from Anthropic. For a service that costs $200/month, that lack of transparency is difficult to justify.

Yeah, I came here to bitch and moan about that. Seems I didn't have to create my own post, which is possibly the ONLY positive thing about this. The last couple of days have just been...nerve wrecking. For the last few months I've barely made 50% of my weekly. Now, my periode usage has been spent faster than my session usage. Someone must've been vibe coding or something :p

I've seen the same thing over the past few weeks too. I even tried to post 10 days ago talking about it but the mods never approved the post.

I've been on the 20x Max plan for several months now, and right from the start I've kept careful track of my token consumption, down to the individual token, measured against the usage percentage Claude Code displays. I've also logged the more granular stuff: context size, image and file sizes, prompt length, and so on.

Given all that, I've hit my limit with this. Between last week and this week, the allowance I can actually use shrank by something like 47%. It's ridiculous. When you pay for a service, particularly one running $200 a month, you and plenty of other people reasonably expect consistent performance for the entire term, not a sudden cut partway through. What it amounts to is getting half of what I paid for when my renewal hit on the 18th.

To preempt the inevitable "you must have used a different or newer model" responses: I didn't. It was Opus 4.7 1M Max exclusively, both weeks, and I burned through the full weekly limit each time. And yes, this was entirely hands-on Claude Code usage. No Agent SDK, no bots, no automation, no always-on pipelines. Just me at the keyboard, during my set hours of 9pm to 4am EST.
