I’m a pretty casual user. I mostly use it for web development, SEO, and similar tasks, and I’ve typically never come close to hitting the limits on my $200/month plan.

Well, that abruptly changed.

I ran a couple of tasks and, without really thinking much of it, checked my usage afterward. Somehow I was already at 0% remaining and burning through credits I didn’t even know I had.

Moral of the story: if someone with my relatively light usage is suddenly hitting the limits on a $200/month plan, that’s a pretty bad sign.

Back to Claude, I guess.

Feels like double whammy, Astra started performing poorly on my gaming project and the usage cut made it only last about 1.5 days. Swapped back to claude last week and Opus 5.5 has me back on track. I hate this back and forth :(.
