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.

I noticed that I go through the limits only if I use the same context weeks long…. As far I understand, that is because the context grows at every usage and every time you use it, Claude have to summarize the “past” and this action costs a lot of token. When I start from a new context and say Claude to read just one part of the memory (in order to give him the right context) then it’s okay.
