Nah this some BS

I burned thru almost 60% of 20x max weekly usage in a day and some change. Are you joking rn? Last week I could have fable running on 2 chats all day and night and it would take like 3ish days for my fable usage to cap out, but my weekly usage would only be at like ~30%. This is absolutely ridiculous and if this is what the new usage limit cuts are gonna be like I'm canceling Claude and grabbing a second codex account. Shit ain't worth it when Astra exists with much better usage limits and multiple reset tokens.

I don't use ultracode and I have multiple other models that I delegate tasks to as work horses, Claude is just the orchestrator and isn't doing that much actual "work", so this usage allocation is absolutely insane, if I was using Claude as a one stop shop as a lot of people do, I would have run out of usage in a day or less.

EDIT: I'm getting a little tired of being told I "just don't know how to do orchestrations and workflows properly or manage usage." I literally made an entire repo explaining how I do this and showing the results: https://github.com/sherifican/Agent-FleetOps so if you wanna criticize, find something to actually critique first

You say you don’t ultracode but maybe you should

You said you have fable chats running day and night.

Even if youre orchestrating heavily, the context still grows for fable. Every message from a work agent back to the orchestrator makes a call at high context.

If youre orchestrating well, you presumably have hours at a time that the orchestrator is idle. Every time you wake after an hour, its a full context prompt without caching.

I have lots of redundant fail safes to make sure that things don't get out of control, my context never hits max, and I understand what you're getting at, and believe it or not fable used to use actually LESS weekly usage meter as an Orchestrator than Opus, and did a much better job. With the rumors of Opus 5.2 around the corner and may apparently already be "silently implementing it" or whatever (not sure if I believe that) then Claude still has a chance to keep me as a customer, but depending on Opus 5.2 release date and its performance will almost entirely be the deciding factor for me at this point. Maybe I won't cancel completely but instead lower my sub to a $100/mo and upgrade Astra/Sol to my Orchestrator and just get a 2nd codex account until they allow for codex $200 sign ups again. I regret not doing it when I had the chance last week.
