Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage

For whoever else is having the same problems, worth voting these kind of issues. There needs to be more transparency over what goes on with our subscriptions.

Been experiencing similar issues even with the lower tier models.

Fair transactions involve fair and transparent measurements of goods exchanged. I'm going to cancel my subscription this month.

That’s why I switched to Codex. It’s so much more generous and in my experience, just as good. Also, optimizing your setup for working with agents can easily make a 5x difference.

Something similar is happening with GitHub Copilot too. It's impossible to know what a "request" is and some change in the last couple of months has seen my request usage go up for the same style of work. Toss in the bizarre and impossible to understand rate limiting that occurs with regular usage and it's pretty obvious that these companies are struggle to scale.

The response doesn't even make sense and appears to be written by AI.

> The March 6 change makes Claude Code cheaper, not more expensive. 1h TTL for every request could cost more, not less

Feels very AI. > Restore 1h as the default / expose as configurable? 1h everywhere would increase total cost given the request mix, so we're not planning a global toggle.

They won't show a toggle because it will increase costs for some unknown percentage of requests?
