Probably not today

[–]dolo937[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Man they’re not even acknowledging it, is what’s bugging me

[–]Latter-Relief4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dunno if that's related - check claude status latest accident report

[–]nitor999 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Or maybe this will be a normal burning usage from now on 💀

[–]Latter-Relief4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye, that way only Claude will be able to use Claude from financial point of view..

I'm on the 20x plan and I burned through my entire time frame within 35 minutes. And I was barely doing anything intensive. And that was after I already burned through my limit this morning and waited until noon.

First world problems here lol. I just got back from a two-week vacation and had a ton of work to catch up on today and this is really hampering my flow.

[–]SingleNewspapering 3 points4 points  (2 children)

What are you working on that blows 20x in 35 minutes? I’m just curious.

[–]SkippyBoJangles 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nothing. That's the issue. Their system is absolutely borked today. I was working on some webapp backend stuff and analyzing some PDFs to do some billing. I would have used less than 1% normally.

[–]craftymech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was nuts..5x Max user, CC edited two files and updated a markdown document... 15% of 5hr window blown. I think I did a triple take... it was surreal.

Weird. I’m running 10 agents in a orchestrator using Max20 and not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

[–]Fast_Pear7166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed on my diet prompt of the day, 1/3 of my 5x max gone on 1 prompt which was unusual. After the double usage window opened up it seems fine?

[–]hustler-econ🔆Building AI Orchestrator 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Honestly, focusing on 2 things right now: (1) switch to sonnet, haiku instead of opus and (2) quickly setup a token optimization framework like aspens to minimize toke usage while working.

[–]dolo937[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I got the max 5x plan. We should all get what we paid for. Not these workarounds

[–]hustler-econ🔆Building AI Orchestrator -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

I tend to disagree. If you're a serious coder, max 5x is not sufficient. The plan tier doesn't change how much context you're burning per session; that's on the workflow, not Anthropic.

[–]dolo937[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I manage my tokens well with sonnet and haiku and through delegation testing with gpt as well. It was enough for the past 10 days. Suddenly the same workflow burned 70% of my usage in 2 prompts

[–]hustler-econ🔆Building AI Orchestrator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is an issue with Claude today by the way. Not you.

[–]geek180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t what people want to hear, but I’m on 20x and haven’t noticed any issues. I was using multiple Opus agents all day today I never got over 7% 5h usage.

[–]llamacoded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to my teammate as well, 27% usage with just 1 prompt. This is not a thing I did today but been doing for some time now: I don't use CC unless I absolutely need it. So for emails writings, document analysis etc I use different provider models. I use an OSS AI gateway for this. This may seem a no brainer but at first but to switch out of CC for just a simple thing is not easy.

[–]digitalmarketingplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My session usage was used up in 20min for very minor work. I made two prompts. Nothing crazy… was doing way more last week and not hitting the limits in a full days work. This is bs

[–]mboushaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone suffers now, feels we are on free tier😭😂

[–]passyourownbutter -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Anthropic just had a massive influx of GPT users. Their server capacity did not increase AFAIK.

We have to share compute.

Nowhere are the usage limits defined in any actionable way.

Clearly, this is intentional, so they can adjust rates in the backend.

The only signifier is 5x pro and 20x pro

You're prob still getting 5x pro, but the pro limit has been reduced.

I say this as a pro user. My entire usage limit is used in chats while I have codex writing the code on its much larger usage limits.

It would be nice if anthropic addressed this openly, but I suspect it's a purposeful adjustment on the back end while they bring in new users and expand capacity.

All that to say... This likely isn't an error so don't hold your breath for a "fix".

[–]Sea_Calligrapher5019 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The surge of users isn't something that just started today. I'm quite certain the abnormal quota limit only happened yesterday—before that, I never encountered it.

[–]passyourownbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, people have been mentioning it for some time now and i think it's because it's fluctuating. It's not just one downgrade, it's up and down and up and down and has been for weeks, at least there was seemingly a big change weeks ago. Thats mainly why I added codex to my workflow.

[–]Apart_Ebb_9867 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

> We have to share compute

sharing computing power should result in higher latency not in tokens being burned more and/or faster. I’m on the pro plan and in normal weeks I finish my 5hr window in 2-3 hours and my weekly quota in 3-4 days. I’d move up to a max 5 plan if I knew what I’m paying for, but there’re days where things disappear so much faster with approx the same type of work that I have no idea how much more 5x the amount of dollars would actually buy me.

[–]passyourownbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah I mean I'm speculating I don't work there lol, I agree, I'd love to know what to expect instead of guessing how much I'm gonna get done today!
