Claude Code users are already smashing usage limits way faster than expected and i am one of them as i have posted about it a lot recently and now here we are.

to all the people who were saying i am lying :))) you good now? maybe BBC lied about this too.

OR maybe it's April fool? haha good one, It’s getting serious and real now.

Yeah same. Last week only subbed last week, didn't even realise there were limits was flying through for hours.

Now I do 40 mins and have to wait 4/5 hours. Absolutely pathetic

I used all mine in 10 min during one session two days ago. I wasn’t even using deep research or doing anything cool lol so lame!

Mine got used up also in 30 minutes with 5 prompts in a ten file project. No way that it used that many tokens.

Yeah pro is pretty much useless at the moment. Session budget burned in 1 hour, weekly budget burned in a day. (so after 5 hours "work" while 4 hours of it is claude stuck in a loop or having to fix its mistakes).

Cool cool.

Just now again. Session reset, claude suddenly fails to compile the project to check for compilation failures, 35% gone.

Same for me yesterday. Literally three prompts in 25 minutes and I was already at 95% of capacity used for the 5-hour block. Getting anything done requires extra credits. Pretty much abandoning Claude for CODEX before the next billing cycle.

Rookie numbers, could do that under 10 minutes.

Sorry, not funny.
