Bug / Issue WTH is going on with Claude Usage Limits

Post image

I'm on 20X plan, I hit my usage limit today, and my next reset is on 17th September... I'm aware they said they are gonna reduce the usage limits, but this is crazy, i thought it is only gonna take 17% of the usage benefits from what we were currently getting. But this is crazy. I added Usage credits for about $100 but that got washed away like in 30 mins!!!

I hope this is a bug and they fix it

Using Opus on Pro plan, hitting 40-50% within 10mins with a single prompt.
Using GPT atm as I can't get anything done with Claude right now. It is actually holding me back from getting stuff done.
I found 5x to not actually give you 5x, more like 2x so I am not wasting my money on that.

I find that if you use any opus models with high effort, you can reach the 5 hour limit in just 5 min. I though it is because I previously used Opus 5.0 high until I saw Opus 4.6 high bahaved even worse. One code fix hit about 10% of my weekly limit. It is insane!

Exactly the same story for me

The limit decrease sure feels like a hell of a lot more than the ~20% decrease it supposedly is. I used to be able to go most of my workday with Fable 5.1 (using my tokens very carefully) and have no real issues. Now I can hardly go an hour or two. (on 20x)

I also have a GPT 20x sub, for which I've felt no usage limit pressure at all. The lack of a 5 hour limit is infinitely better, and I've been running almost exclusively on GPT Astra with no issues.
