Re: Claude Code weekly rate limits
#392I'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…
Don’t worry, just give them more money.

#393Guess they ran into the usage limits themselves when they worked on the messaging in Claude Code: "Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 8pm (UTC)" Why not use the user's timezone?
Leaky bucket. No time zone needed.

#394Claude's vague limits is literally why im not a subscriber.

#395If you're paying per-month why are the limits weekly?
Re: Claude Code weekly rate limits
#396I'm not sure how this will play out long term, but I really am not a fan of having to feel like I'm using a limited resource whenever I use an LLM. People like unlimited plans, we are used to them for internet, text messaging, etc. The current pricing models just feel bad.
The real bottleneck isn’t Jevons paradox, it’s the Theory of Constraints. A human brain runs on under 20 W, yet every major LLM vendor is burning cash and running up against power supply limits. If anything pops this bubble, it won’t be ethics panels or model tweaks but subscription prices finally reflecting those electricity bills. At that point, companies might rediscover the ROI of good old meat based AI.

That’s like saying when the price of gasoline gets too high, people will stop driving.
Once a lifestyle is based on driving (like commuting from the suburbs to a job in the city), it’s quite difficult and in some cases, impossible without disrupting everything else.
A gallon of gas is about 892% higher in 2025 than it was in 1970 (not adjusted for inflation) and yet most people in the US still drive.
The benefits of LLMs are too numerous to put that genie back in the bottle.
We’re at the original Mac (128K of RAM, 9-inch B&W screen, no hard drive) stage of LLMs as a mainstream product.

"find a list of social events in my area" Isn't this something you can do with a simple Google search? Or Perplexity? No need to shove by far the most expensive LLM (Claude Opus 4) at it.
Not for the Los Angeles metro area. There isn’t a single calendar or event aggregator that covers the entire area and with an LLM I can give it complex schedules (i.e. a dump of my calendar for that week) and preferences to filter the list of events for the stuff I like, including vague stuff like “I like country music in the style of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ but not modern country radio”.
Killing a fly with a cannonball.

"they paid for" $100 doesn't even cover the electricity of running the servers every night, they were abusing a service and now everyone suffers because of them.
It is still not the users fault, pricing is not their responsibility. As a user, I check the price and what the service offers, then I subscribe and I use it. If these users did something illegal or breaking some conditions, any service would be free to block them. But they didn’t, meaning the AI tools promised too much for the price so they update their conditions, they are basically figuring out the pricing. I don’…
Tragedy of the commons. You are totally right, they didn't violate any policy. But they violated their moral obligation to not abuse a shared resource.

Yes, but that's so expensive I will never do it!
With one months exception, I've never gotten past $150 with API. I plan to do the $100 plan and use the API for overflow. I think I will come out ahead.
Well, lucky you! Before Claude Max was an option, I burned a lot of money using Claude Code, and that was while I was trying my best to use it as little as possible.
