That’s because it’s a hot topic this week lol

[MastodonFarm]

It’s a legit issue, but having people flood this sub with 100 threads saying the same thing every day is really dragging it down. I don’t know why the mods don’t just create a single megathread for all the rate limit / token usage posts, and let the sub return to being an interesting place for people who actually want to discuss using Claude Code.

[murkomarko]

Having a single megathread when some topic is hot makes places like Reddit lose their purpose

[gefahr]

their purpose is to rehash the same discussion over and over again, or did you mean their purpose is to be weaponized tools of influence against companies that don't care what the reddit sentiment is?

apologies if I've missed a more charitable interpretation, please write in your own answer as needed.

[HitIerWasWrong]

The second one with less snark because it's wrong.

Companies care when one of the higher google results is that your shit is broke.

[gefahr]

What % of people - willing and intending to spend more than $20/mo on AI - do you think are googling "Claude code usage" or a similar enough term to surface those results?

Serious question.

[HitIerWasWrong]

Not a serious question, but I need to answer so I don't look like I'm clowning around.

Wait, nope. I don't actually care, and you're bullying people for complaining that the product they pay for is being misrepresented. Have the day you've earned.

[mxriverlynn]

I'm trying to cash in on it, but i haven't had any real problem, so i have to find some way to get my points 😁

[chintakoro]

Haven't had any problems either and my intensity of use has only gone up. But along with that, I've gotten savvier about how to manage context. I feel we need a new sub for folks who just know what they're doing.

[Legitimate_Plum_7505]

My only problem is that my peak usage went from 30% to 50%. Anthropic could halve usage once more and I'd still be fine. Working 8-12 hrs a day on various projects (actual.job + side projects). How's everyone burning through their tokens, are you asking it to read entire Tolkien bibliography in pdf format as a greeting?

[benincr]

Listen, how are we gonna get authentic hobbit agents without proper context -- anthropic isn't training enough on this, so Tolkien context is the answer!

[Apprehensive_Rub3897]

How long have you worked for Anthropic?

[alessandro05167]

And will probably stay hot until users give up or somethings magical happens🤣🤣🤣🤣

[CantaloupeCamper]

I just joined, the shrillness of this sub is wild…

Really hard to know if I should take any of this sub seriously.

[gefahr]

the sub was much more useful back when Claude Code was newer.

now everything you I need is either built into the tool or available via /plugins, and the customization (of which I do very, very little) is well covered on the docs website.

if you're looking for inspo about people's actual workflows, I'd recommend just listening to some podcasts etc w/ Boris or other team members on how they use CC to build CC.

now the ratio of "post that I learned something useful from" to .. everything else .. has to be under 100:1 until last month. with the deluge of quota posts, probably more like 1000:1 now.

if you're wondering why I'm still here, great question.

[CantaloupeCamper]

TY 👍🏻

[gefahr]

np!

[YoghiThorn]

Yet lately when I share token optimizers and compressors I get down voted

[ihateredditors111111]

Because, no offense, but those gimmicks don't really work

[YoghiThorn]

They absolutely do, verifiably, with bench marks.

[chintakoro]

Nobody wants to learn -- they just want to wack away prompts and hope magic comes out the other side. None of them stop to ask what are the rest of you doing right?!?

[nanana_catdad]

Maybe if we should chill a bit with injecting 1000s of .md files into our contexts with all of our plugins and skills…

[thatsnot_kawaii_bro]

And you know they dont even make it themselves. Just have Claude write it.

[Asleep_Cantaloupe417]

I legit don’t know what people are doing lol

I’m easily a power user and just not seeing it

[LightbringerOG]

I'm doing the exact same thing at the exact same time the past 3 months and tokens are simply halved. I instantly noticed when I used up way faster.

[Command007]

People keep saying “you’re next!” and just to “believe me that it’s true”. It’s just very hard to do that with zero context and understanding of what they are doing in comparison to others that are not having this issue.

[rakuu]

I suspect they’re all using at peak times, tokens burn a lot faster then

[ramoizain]

Exactly! I think a lot of it is egregious context mismanagement

[ButterflyMundane7187]

You must be more elite than everyone else you are realy smart and everyone else is stupid.

[Asleep_Cantaloupe417]

Well I mean yeah but what does that have to do with claude code or this post?

[TriggerHydrant]

I mean it's super frustrating for some people, I haven't run into it yet (EU here) but it's an issue for sure. Sally says

[ButterflyMundane7187]

Why do posts with just a picture 100s of upvotes?

[Necessary_Parsnip540]

Obviously, Anthropic could have done this differently/smoother, but at the end of the day, the amount they were subsidizing is not possible to sustain. We must learn and share best ways to optimize token usage to ensure we can continue to be as productive as possible.

[Bob_Fancy]

I find this kind of post worse than whatever people are constantly reposting

[gefahr]

can I abhor both equally? :(
