You can install VSCode extension and use "/ide" to connect them.

Do people actually use this mode? Having to approve diffs in the ide is too annoying.

You can tell it not to do that and it will show inline diffs.

I never run out of this mysterious quota thing. I close Claude Code at 10% context and restart. I work for hours and it never says anything. No clue why you’re hitting this. $230 pro max.

Does closing claude code do something that running /clear does not?

Yeah, it re-sends all the agent system prompts.

Wait what? Really? All caps is a bannable offense? That should be in all caps, pardon me, in the terms of use if that's the case. Even more so since there's no support at the highest price point.

Its a combination. All caps is used in prompts for extra insistence, and has been common in cases of prompt hijacking. OP was doing it in combination with attempting to direct claude a certain way, multiple times, which might have looked similar to attempting to bypass teh system prompt.

It really feels like a you problem if you're banning someone for writing prompts like my Aunt Gladys writes texts.

I'm reading this just as I am working on a PWA that uses Bun.Terminal to spawn Claude Code and xterm.js to mirror its TUI on the web to expose Claude Code in a way where I can use it while I'm on the phone with TailScale.

I didn't really think about this until now (I am just solving my problem), but I guess I could get OpenCode'd for this. Similar to the OP I don't find I am doing anything particularly weird, but if their use case wasn't looked upon favorably by Anthropic, mine probably won't be either.

After the OpenCode drama where some people got banned for using it I saw some people from Anthropic on Twitter asking folks to DM them if they got banned and they'd get unbanned. I know I wouldn't be doing that, so I guess if I get banned, I am back to Codex for a while.

I was banned as well, out of the blue suddenly and without warning. I believe it was because I was either doing something like what OP was doing AND/OR using the allowed limits to their fullest extent. It completely blew me away and I felt suddenly so betrayed. I was paying $200/mo to fully utilize a service they offered and then without warning I apparently did something wrong and had no recourse. No one to ask, no…

Oh, and have a backup workflow. Find / test / use other LLMs and providers. Don't become dependent on a single provider. I have pro subscriptions to all three major providers, and have been planning to drop one eventually. Anthropic may end up making the decision for me, it sounds like, even though (or perhaps because) I've been using Claude CLI more than the others lately. What I'd really like to do is put a machine…

I'm hoping that advances in MoE and other improvements in LLMs will translate to allowing self-hosting to cover a good chunk of developer needs, with extending out to providers when it needs more horsepower.

In effect like traditional on-prem services that have cloud services to handle peak loads...

The tech is still relatively new and there's bound to be changes that can enable this -- just like how we went from 8088 to 386 (six years later). That was a ground breaking change and while Moore's law may be dead I expect the cost to drop significantly over time.

One can dream at least.

Your quota also seems to be higher after unsubscribing and resubscribing?

They'll also send you a free month of the 100 dollar plan if you unsubscribe to try and get you back.

or (tested on Max x20 plan) when the subscription renewal fails by any reason (they try charge your CC multiple times) then you are still in for 2+ weeks till it dies

Claude Code allegedly auto-includes the currently active file and often all visible tabs and sometimes neighboring files it thinks are 'related' - on every prompt. The advice I got when scouring the internets was primarily to close everything except the file you’re editing and maybe one reference file (before asking Claude anything). For added effect add something like 'Only use the currently open file. Do not read o…

Yes, it does exactly that. It also sends other prompts like generating 3 options to choose from, prefilling a reply like 'compile the code', etc. (I can confirm this because I connect CC to llama.cpp and use it with GLM-4.7. I see all these requests/prompts in the llama-server verbose log.) You can stop most of this with export DISABLE_NON_ESSENTIAL_MODEL_CALLS=1 And might as well disable telemetry, etc: export CLAUD…

I would always close claude to start a new chat... Guess I should stop doing that. Thanks for bringing my attention to those two env vars.
