I spend full 20x the week quota in less than 10 hours. How is that possible? Well try to mass translate texts in 30 languages and you will hit limits extremely quick.
Should have switched the model to Haiku

#272Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why did this become an issue seemingly overnight when 1M context has been available for a while, and I assume prompt caching behavior hasn't changed? EDIT: prompt caching behavior -did- change! 1hr -> 5min on March 6th. I'm not sure how starting a fresh session fixes it, as it's just rebuilding everything. Why even make this available? It feels like the rules changed and the attitude from Anth is "aw I'm sorry you di…
> 1hr -> 5min on March 6th This is not accurate. The main agent typically uses a 1h cache (except for API customers, which can enable 1h but it is not on by default because it costs more). Sub-agents typically use a 5m cache.

#273I put this in a reply but I'm also posting it as a general comment: Please unsubscribe to these services and see how they perform: "Maybe if I spend more money on the max plan it will be better" > no it will be the same "Maybe if I change my prompt it will work" > no it will be the same "Maybe if I try it via this API instead of that API it will improve" > no it will be the same.

OpenAI (Codex) keeps on resetting the usage limits each time they fuck up... I have yet to see Anthropic doing the same. Sorry but this whole thing seems to be quite on purpose.

Yes same here. I use CC almost constantly every day for months across personal and work max/team accounts, as well as directly via API on google vertex. I have hardly ever noticed an issue (aside from occasional outages/capacity issues, for which I switch to API billing on Vertex). If anything it works better than ever.

#275Cancelled my subscription after repeatedly hitting ridiculously low limits. Unfortunately since off-peak free usage was increased there are way more timeouts and failed requests, but hey at least it's free.

#276Hey all, Boris from the Claude Code team here. We've been investigating these reports, and a few of the top issues we've found are: 1. Prompt cache misses when using 1M token context window are expensive. Since Claude Code uses a 1 hour prompt cache window for the main agent, if you leave your computer for over an hour then continue a stale session, it's often a full cache miss. To improve this, we have shipped a few…
I have a feature request: I build an mcp server, but now it has over 60 tools. Most sessions i really don’t need most of them. I suppose I could make this into several servers. But it would maybe be nice to give the user more power here. Like let me choose the tools that should be loaded or let me build servers that group tools together which can be loaded. Not sure if that makes sense …

> Anthropic CAN change their limits and rates as they see fit, there’s never been hard promises or SLOs on these plans. No they can't. When I buy an annual subscription and prepay for the year, they can't just go "ok now you get one token a month" a day in. I bought the plan as I bought it. They can't change anything until the next renewal.
That probably is somewhere in the EULA or other contract you agreed to. I'm not arguing it's any kind of fair, nor am I a lawyer so IDK if it's enforceable, but I bet it's in there somewhere.

I don't think that's accurate. The malware prompt has been around since Sonnet 3.7. We carefully evaled it for each new model release and found no regression to intelligence, alongside improved scores for cyber risk. That said, we have removed the prompt for Opus 4.6 since it no longer needed it.
I started seeing "not a malware, continuing" in almost every reply since around 2 weeks ago. Maybe you just reintroduced it with some regression? Opus 4.6
I've been using CC a decent amount the past few weeks and have never seen this malware stanza...?

#279I'm afraid the music may be slowly fading at this party, and the lights will soon be turned on. We may very well look back on the last couple years as the golden era of subsidized GenAI compute. For those not in the Google Gemini/Antigravity sphere, over the last month or so that community has been experiencing nothing short of contempt from Google when attempting to address an apparent bait and switch on quota expec…
IMO we are currently in the ENIAC era of LLMs. Perhaps there will be a brief moment where things get worse, but long term the cost of these things will go way down.
Cost will probably go down but nobody knows when or how. It might take 10 years for all we know as training costs have only been rising.
A huge difference is early computers were not subsidized. It took decades until most people could afford to own a computer at home.
Re: Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage
#280I don't get it. Last week on the 100 bucks plan I generated probably 50k LOC (not a quality measure for sure!) and just barely kissed the weekly limit. I did get rate limited on some sessions for sure, but that's to be expected. I'm curious what are people doing that is consuming your limits? I can't imagine filling the $200 a month plan unless I was essentially using Claude code itself as the api to mass process stu…
Yea, I found myself maxing out the $20/mo plan occasionally, so I tried the $100/mo, but I don't think I even once even approached the session limit, let alone the weekly limit. And this is doing what I would consider heavy, continuous programming. I probably ought to go back down to $20 one. It would be nice if they had a cheaper tier in between them, but the tiers they have are probably a good business trick to get…
I’m on the $20/mo plan right now and I hit the limit in under an hour, sometimes 20-30 minutes. I don’t understand how people can work with this plan; maybe it was better before?
