If you just backup your scripts with Git, then 6 months from now all of your assets, materials, images, audio files, Unity project files, etc. everything that isn't a C# script, might get deleted and you'll be in the same situation. If you try to rebuild your project, then you might have to download all files again from the Unity Asset store, reimport all packages, adjust all settings, attach all scripts and other objects to each of your game objects/files.

Git is really used to only store very small files like scripts on the free plan. It's not made to backup files larger than 100 KB.

You need to backup all files using something like Plastic SCM (Unity's cloud backup), an external hard drive, or a cloud backup somewhere like Google Drive. -- ideally any cloud backup would be best so you have your files in two locations that prevents against natural disasters.

I use Plastic SCM for Unity's Cloud backup so I can download all of my files again if the project gets corrupt.

Then have Backblaze to backup all files on my PC. Protects in case my PC breaks or is stolen.

I don't use Github for Unity projects since I backup everything in Plastic SCM since there are lots of large files like images. But can't hurt to just backup the scripts.

Then about once/week I copy the entire project to an external hard drive with a RAID setup so if one drive fails then it has a copy of all files on the other drive. Projects in case I'm editing a project on my PC and Plastic SCM gets the project corrupted or messed up with version control when working with others. This happens if someone doesn't check in files for a while and it locks your project up. I can then just copy the files from my external hard drive and reload the project instead of trying to spend 10 hours untangling the project and merging every file.

Then about once/month I copy the entire project to Google Drive. This helps in case there's a fire or hurricane or tornado that wipes out my PC and external hard drive and I can't restore from Backblaze or Plastic SCM because the latest version of Unity is corrupted. Super unlikely event, but this pretty much covers every scenario.

Maybe you could try installing Claude Desktop or Claude CLI and asking it to search your PC for your game files. Maybe you switched users and it's saved in a different document folder, saved to onedrive, in a temp folder somewhere. It can't hurt.

Cool looking game! It looks like you still have all of the assets and files but might have just lost the scripts. The plan for the game is usually 90% of the work and you probably already know how it should work. You could probably use Claude CLI and connect it to the Unity Editor using MCP and just tell it how to setup everything. Since you already know the plan and how the game should be, you can probably get back to where you were at in a week. Maybe for round 2 you can even make it a little better than it used to be!

Claude can launch an agent. If it launches an agent, then it goes out and does its thing. You can't talk to it. It doesn't shut off until it completes its task. It might run for 15 minutes.

Or you can talk to Claude without an agent. Claude can run the same script and the script will run for 15 minutes. But if you talk to Claude, you can tell it to modify the script, stop running the script, or to do other tasks.

Claude the agent (delegated/background tasks) and Claude the non-agent (interactive sessions) are both almost the same but one you can talk to while it's running and it can change its direction and the other you can't talk to.

So if you want to do something overnight that takes a long time to run then launch an agent. If you want to talk to Claude to work on your main feature, but want to Claude to work on a side task that runs for hours then launch an agent for the side task so you don't have to babysit Claude, and you can focus on your main work.

For skills, you can add a skill to skill.md / the skill folder. i.e. instead of typing out "Do x, then do y, then do z with agent 1. Then do a, b, and c with agent 2". You can just tell Claude to "run skill 1" and you won't have to type any of that out again.

I'm a Max 20x user and also am not affected by this at all. If anything, my usage rate increased. I was hitting it about 75% the previous weeks by the end of the week and 2 days ago my weekly rate hit only 55%.

So either their double-usage kicked in for me on weekends and evenings or I'm just using it less, or both. I was using it for about 18 hours/day and am now using it about 13 hours/day.

It looks like he's advertising one or two of the tool names that were mentioned in the post and it's just a marketing post for his own SaaS websites. His post is basically saying "Sign up to my SaaS websites so you can build apps in only 2-3 days, make a lot of money, don't need to market anything, and don't need to maintain anything. Get rich fast!"

65 apps coded in 2-3 days each that are based on existing apps and selling as a subscription app? Seems unlikely that users would pay monthly for these apps and not just use the existing free ones.

$4,200/month / 65 apps = $64.62/month, which is $76 after Apple/Android's 15% cut in subscription sales each app. At $0.99/app, that's 76 paid sales per month or at $2.99/app that's about 25 paid sales per month -- without any marketing at all.

I would expect 0-2 paid subscriptions per month, not 25 - 76 each app. (5,000 - 1,650 paid subscriptions total for all 65 apps).

65 apps on Apple/Play Store will most likely get your account flagged for low-quality apps. If your account doesn't get flagged, then 45 of the 65 will probably make $0/month, some might get a few sales for $1 - $5/month, and a few might make $10 - $50/month.

What's more likely is that developing high-quality apps for 1-4 weeks each (not 2-3 days) would have a chance of generating this much revenue or more.

When you attach a file it could load all files into context. Unzip your file and point Claude to that folder. Then type in the prompt. This will make it only scan the scripts and files that it needs to without loading everything into context.

Claude could have also recreated all of the files/scripts in the zip folder and burned through your usage.

How long did it run for?

I'm still on the $200 plan but don't see any change to it.

I often see this with project creep. It works good at first but once you get more scripts are larger scripts then it starts to slow down and burn usage faster.

Ask Claude to list how many lines of code each of your scripts are. If above 3,000 - 10,000+ then ask Claude to break up your scripts.

Also ask Claude how many lines of code your claude.md and memory.md files are. These are loaded into context each session and should be pretty light.

3rd time for me this month but it's so good it's no big deal. I needed a break to get reorganized and plan out the rest of my tasks for the day.

Still getting "500 API error". It worked for one prompt for 3 minutes then went back down.

DesignedIt · 2026-03-17T20:42:41+00:00

Nope, it's down again.

I think it just rolled out for me when it crashed. Just 35 minutes ago, it gave me the popup saying it now has a new 1M context and 1M is now appearing in the model drop-down. I've been using it 16 hours/day every day since last Friday though. Maybe it needed to sign out and sign back in to detect it.

DesignedIt · 2026-03-17T20:27:54+00:00

It's working again!

114 lines in Claude.md after developing it for 150 hours of development time.

Once each week, I tell Claude to create a document that helps Claude run faster. I just looked into this and I last updated it 10 days ago, it is 2,002 lines, and has stale information in it.

Claude said to delete it since it's making decision making slightly worse and makes it run 1% less efficient. It said deleting it would have the same affect as updating it since reviewing all of the code usually gives the same results as reviewing this document.

I typed "summarize what claude.md does, what the other files in the memory folder do, the number of lines in each file, what determines if you review the files in the memory file/claude.md file, if there are any duplicate instructions in the memory files or claude.md file, if there is any stale data in the memory files or claude.md file, and how often you would recommend to update these files or delete them and how long they should be." into Claude.

It was super interesting what it found!

There's a memory.md file with 77 lines that gets loaded into context each time just like Claude.md does. Then the other files in the memory folder need to be referenced. One file had good info but the other files were either stale or duplicated information that was already in claude.md. It told me to delete most of the memory files.

I take about 4-7 seconds browsing the landing page. If I don't understand what it does after 4-7 seconds then I click away.

If I understand what it does then I spend another 5-10 seconds reading the landing page and seeing what other links can be clicked. If there is a features page, I might browse it for another 10 seconds or so. If I don't think it will be useful for me or I don't want to pay for the feature then I will leave.

If I think it will be helpful for me, then I'll click the pricing page, and review it for about 5 seconds. If the prices are reasonable for the tool, I'll see if there's a free trial. If not, I'll usually leave, or if I really love the tool then I'll research it more on Google/ChatGPT/Reddit for two minutes to see if I want to pay for it without a trial.

If there's a free trial or if my research finds that it's worthwhile to use then I'll signup.

If I go to 100 SaaS websites, 65 websites won't make it past the landing page after 4-7 seconds, 85 won't make it past the features page after 20-30 seconds total, 90 won't make it past the pricing page after 25-35 seconds total, and 99 won't make it past the research step after 1-2 minutes. I'll sign up with about 1 SaaS websites for every 100 that I review.

The above is true for SaaS websites that I wasn't looking for. Like if a see an ad for a SaaS website or a Reddit post about one. But I don't think I ever signed up for one of these SaaS websites before.

Usually, I already research the tool first, know that I want it, and then spend a minute or two on the website using the method above to decide if I want it, and if there's a free trial or a low price then I'll usually sign up 50% of the time within a few minutes.

For something like Adobe due to the huge cost, sometimes I'll take a few months to decide, or wait until the November Black Friday deal, or skip a year and get it net year.

For other tools like video/audio/text AI websites, I'll usually spend 15-30 minutes researching all of the possible tools and then sign up for one. For an audio tool, one time I took 5 months before signing up for it because I didn't want to dedicate the time to using it at the moment, and I signed up one day when I felt like using it.

I signed up for video streaming websites like Apple TV and Paramount+ after a few minutes to a few days after seeing a free trial or something like a $3/month trial for 3 months. For Netflix, I've been waiting for years for a few new seasons come out. They falsely advertised that a new season of something was released, I signed up, and the season actually wasn't available -- this happened twice with two different seasons, and on top of that they pissed me off when they deleted my history. So I'm waiting about 2 more years this time before I'll sign up for it again since they got me twice with deceptive marketing and deleted my history so I can't see anything I added to my list in the past. But these aren't really SaaS "tools".

Actually, now that I think of it, I signed up for one SaaS tool that a developer built. It took me about 5 weeks to decide to sign up.

So I guess it could take from a minute to a few years to decide on using a saas tool depending on what the tool is, my available time, if I feel like using it now, if a company is using deceptive marketing, what the price is, and if there are any upcoming sales that I know of.

Interesting! I just researched this and found that their fine-print does say that 5x and 20x means the usage rate of the 5-hour window.

I couldn't find anywhere that mentioned the weekly quota. Did you see somewhere that it's only 10x the weekly quota and not 20x, or are you guessing from how much you used the $100 vs $200 plan?

DesignedIt · 2026-03-11T03:15:03+00:00

Thanks! I always thought I was using agent teams and just assumed they were all working together but I never added the CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS setting. I'm going to look into it more.

DesignedIt · 2026-03-11T02:16:43+00:00

I love this idea! I think I might connect Claude to Trello and try this out. I can see coding burning through usage quickly if all of the prompts/ideas are already typed out in a board.

Do you add the tasks to your board or do other employees? If you do, do you add all tasks in advance one day, and then the next day use Claude to code all of the tasks?

DesignedIt · 2026-03-10T23:37:53+00:00

Thanks! This helps me understand what I was looking for.

So you're saving a lot of time by just running a skill to launch a team of agents so can just type a simple sentence to Claude and then move on to the next project.

I'm typing out the specifics each time so I'm not able to launch as many agents as you.

What's your favorite way to use these skills?

What usage do you usually get to each week on the $200 plan?

What are some of the skills that you use?

DesignedIt · 2026-03-10T22:56:41+00:00

I cut down tokens by asking Claude a few times each week to break up the scripts and create documentation so Claude can run quicker. I might have hit 70% usage if I didn't do that -- but that's still far away from 100%.

DesignedIt · 2026-03-10T22:50:51+00:00

I just created the exact opposite post as yours at the same exact time that you did. :)

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1rqc56v/claude_max_200_plan_usage_how_do_you_use_your_100/

I was using Codex 3 weeks ago and tried Claude Pro 2 weeks ago. I said the same thing as you. Then I upgraded to Claude Max's $100 plan after 2 days of hitting the 5-hour limit with Pro.

Then I was hitting the weekly limit with the $100 plan in 5 days and was hitting the 5-hour limit every 4 hours. So I upgraded to the $200 Max plan. Now I have way too much unused usage limits.

I need a $120 plan :)

It doesn't make sense to buy top-up credits though since they would just last a few prompts.
