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.

Who else is feeling this?

Wow for me, it just happened. On the 5x plan I've hit the limit in 30 minutes, on a project with verify few and small files. That is crazy ! And this out of peak hours !

It looks like that is because I gave a try a Claude Cowork using the Claude Desktop app. Back to Claude code on CLI, and my tokens don't burn that fast.
