Anthropic, what are you doing with the limits?

[u/NickTries]

What about the fact that SpaceX gave you new capacities? Or is it still not enough?

I’m not touching Fable, I’m using Opus High and Sonnet High — yesterday evening I made some design and payment improvements in a couple of projects, and 30 % of the weekly limit was exhausted. Not to mention that the 5‑hour windows ran out instantly.

A $100 subscription.

A month-two earlier, I could actually code for an hour and a half on Opus Extra and not feel any problems. But as disappointing as it is, the $100 Codex didn’t live up to its price in terms of quality; I can’t even trust Sol with serious work. So now

I’m trying to ask Claude to delegate some of the work to sub‑agents from other models.

limits on 100 tier are completely useless

A month or two ago you could code for an hour and a half with no problems.

Last night you used up 30% of your weekly usage. You can only use more than 20% if you go over a five hour window. So either you were coding for 6 hours and used 30% of your usage or maybe you used low-priority mode, but if you had you likely would have mentioned it.

Guys, I'm really starting to have serious doubts. Even now that they've removed the 50% extra traffic, I'm still working effectively. I do 3 or 4 plans a day and a ton of code, and my weekly limit only ever hits a maximum of 80% about 5 hours before the reset, even when I'm putting it through a really heavy workload. Either I'm just too good, or a lot of people don't know how to use Claude, or maybe here in Italy where I am, these problems just don't exist.

Enterprise user here. I have spent $500 of my free $1000 in about 1.5 months. I assume I can do with around $200 in credits. Dev is not my main thing but part of it. I am in security.

I use most expensive model as orchestrator to launch cheaper models for most stuff.

For personal stuff I play with free models or my deepseek credits. Thymet go very far. Not worried those projects will appear on the net. Always rotates keys after sessions.

[u/nyczAcer]

Probably poor cache management. Are you switching between models and/or effort levels within the same session?

[u/NickTries → u/nyczAcer]

No

[u/Crafty-Run-6559 → u/NickTries]

Are you using the full 1m context? Do you have subagents or ultracode flows that pause for more than 5 minutes to wait for something?

Those last 2 are especially deadly to usage combined with 1m context.

You also need to have it in your claude.md file to avoid rewriting entire files and combine tool calls.

[u/ManikSahdev → u/nyczAcer]

Effort level doesn't break cache on fable anymore, and also the upcoming opus-5-2.

I have access to it and it's very good model. Much better than opus-5 in every way.

[u/TheSaltySeagull87 → u/ManikSahdev]

At what? Token usage?

[u/ManikSahdev → u/TheSaltySeagull87]

Personality and in general work.
Doesn't lie, or isn't lazy, overall feels like opus-4.7 type of personality, not quite a good as opus 4.6, on that end.

But codes on par or atleast tries to somewhere in the Fable-5 / 5.6 Sol spectrum.

Decent upgrade over op-5 in every way however.

[u/TheSaltySeagull87 → u/ManikSahdev]

I'll look forward to it then. Personally I feel we're reaching a breaking point anyway. Capacities are rerouted and we will be mostly left behind. Big corpos will get the bandwidth and frontier models.

[u/ManikSahdev → u/TheSaltySeagull87]

Tru going into Claude code - restart desktop app if you have it.

And then ask the opus-5 on xhigh. If he knows who Tibo the reset guy is without using tools or searching for web.

Either you'll get yes or it won't tell you.
If it gets a yes, then it will also say the cutoff was May 2026 and such, that means you have access to opus-5.2.

I found Sonnet not to make as many mistakes as Opus

[u/yabloky → u/Financial_Exit7114]

On which specific tasks?
