you should not be at 20% by typing "continue" 2 minutes after your limit was restored. I'm on the Max 5 plan...this makes no sense. I can't afford this...

Re: Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'
#224I am sensing from last couple of days, hitting limit much earlier. Today Claude has hardly created one markdown file and complaining about hitting limit issue. Any idea when this will return to normal. It has been really creating a lot of delay.
Re: Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'
#225I burn through the entire 5 hour limit in one or two "implement the feature outlined in this doc" requests with claude pro in a not even huge codebase (low tens of thousands of loc). If there were any reasonable alternatives I wouldn't even consider using it, but sonnet 4.6 (and presumably opus 4.6 - I don't use it as sonnet is faster and more than good enough) is the only model I've used that actually makes good dec…
That is wild to me. On Claude Pro, I have never hit the limit, and I use Claude every day.

Fin is the most useless thing ever. There's no obvious way to get reports in front of a human in a timely manner, and there's no clue to believe fin interactions are retained. This does mean ultimately no loyalty. I can't stay loyal to a brand that doesn't actually respond to inquiries, bug reports or down reports at all. I do understand that Anthropic is operating at a tremendous scale and can't have enough humans i…
> I can't stay loyal to a brand that doesn't actually respond to inquiries, bug reports or down reports at all. Amen to this. Being in business means having to respond to customer enquiries at some point. Given the amount of billions being pumped into Anthropic's pockets and given the millions their senior-leadership no doubt pay themselves, I'm sure they could spare a bit of cash to get off their backsides and sort…

Tell that to Google or Meta.

The prices are literally marked on the shelves.
Today, yes. I can imagine a future where that sticker is replaced with an electronic display, and facial rec shows you an individualized price.
You don't think customers are going to figure that out by talking to each other and comparing prices on the spot?
Do you ever talk to other humans IRL?

I’ve dumped claude few months ago for gemini. Maybe my problems are too trivial, but it’s same if not better with added benefit of being much faster. I’d say 95% of my work (20-30hrs per week) is done by it and I spend less than $50 per month.
What stack do you work on ooc? I’ve been tempted to move my Gemini plan up to a higher plan and play around more with the Gemini cli - as I seriously live the Gemini chat for most everything. Claude is lazy af and is always pulling stale data, or not checking resources entirely. I literally have a Gemini mcp that I force close to use half the time when it’s lost, and Gemini nails it every single time. I’m on a Claude…
I do Salesforce - backend and frontend using Webstorm and Junie (and Salesforce specific plugins). It understands symbol table and can connect to Salesforce via MCP server for various things (retrieve missing metadata, create users, deploy, etc).
Funnily Junie detects when Gemini is overloaded (less and less often now) and switches to default model (openai). This is when you start thinking - why this code is so terrible, whats going on?

(apologies for all the typos in my original message)
That makes sense. Web is really where so many of these agents shine, I’m envious. I also imagine the huge context window for Gemini is a huge help with Salesforce work. I do iOS dev, so I have long felt trapped to Claude as it’s really the only agent that understands Xcode/Swift well enough for refactors and architecture. I just get so frustrated by Claude’s laziness and out of date information.
I honestly completely forgot Junie existed…I’m very tempted to see how far I can push it for iOS dev now…I’m sure Xcode is going to hate me even more ha.

This reminds me of the early days of cell phones. Limits everywhere and you paid for it by the kilobyte. Think at one point I was paying 45c per text message. I hope this gets better and we do not need gigawatt datacenters to do this stuff.
We're in the process of building new gigawatt datacenters for the sole purpose of doing this stuff. If we end up not needing them, there's gonna be a whole lot of capacity sitting around soaking up ongoing maintenance costs. For ex. of the five new data centers being planned in Wisconsin, the two I know of that have public energy consumption estimates will need more electricity than all of the residential electric us…
All I know is I never want to hear another person talk about how my personal electrical usage is excessive after all the power usage needed for these data centers. My house should be able to feel comfortable in the summer if we're building these many data centers.
