> Starting August 28 Read the announcement. You are getting a full month's notice. If you don't like the limits, don't renew your subscription. Of course that doesn't help if your primary goal is to be an online outrage culture warrior.

True. If it were easy to pirate these warriors would be claiming policy change as reason to pirate.

I'm probably not going to hit the weekly limit, but it makes me nervous that the limit is weekly as opposed to every 36 hours or something. If I do hit the limit, that's it for the entire week —a long time to be without a tool I've grown accustomed to! I feel like someone is going to reply that I'm too reliant on Claude or something. Maybe that's true, but I'd feel the same about the prospect of loosing ripgrep for a…

I'm guessing less than 5% of the users are just letting Claude Code run in an autonomous loop making slop. I tried this too: and Opus 4 isn't good enough to run autonomously yet. The Rube Goldberg machine needs to be carefully calibrated.

This happens when you prompt it poorly. If you want to avoid slop, the first step is to write an extensive BRD. Read it, understand it, make sure it has everything needed. Then write a solutions architecture document. Read it, understand it, make sure it is fully specified including how things are structured, architecture, principles etc. You can use AI to write these documents. Just make sure to read them, and edit…

When do you read the code

Confused on the Max 5x vs Max 20x. I'm on the latter, and in my email it says: > "Most Max 20x users can expect 240-480 hours of Sonnet 4 and 24-40 hours of Opus 4 within their weekly rate limits." In this post it says: > "Most Max 5x users can expect 140-280 hours of Sonnet 4 and 15-35 hours of Opus 4 within their weekly rate limits." How is the "Max 20x" only an additional 5-9 hours of Opus 4, and not 4x that of "M…

I upgraded to 20x because i was constantly running against Opus limits and now it seems the 20x is almost equal to the 5x in that regard

You can build a decent rig for yourself with: - 2x 4070 Ti (32 GB total VRAM) - $2200 - 64 GB RAM - $200-250 - Core i9/Ryzen 9 CPU - $450 - 2 TB SSD - $150 - Motherboard, cooler, case, PSU - $500-600 Total - ~$3500-3700, say $4000 with extras.

wow - do you mind sharing any links to a specific setup? Also whats the biggest model anybody has run on this?

Every model you run on that setup will be at best half as good as Sonnet 4.

No it's 100 a week for plus users.

Sorry, yes, plus, not pro.

> Anthropic is saying that one out of every 20 users will hit the new limit.

Very good point, I find it unlikely that 1/20 users is account sharing or running 24/7 agentic workflows.

I was wondering when the free lunch for these tools was going to end. All the AI stuff has been incredibly subsidized by investors and it'll be interesting to see whay the real cost is going to be when companies like Anthropic and OpenAI need to make money.
