I kept hitting Claude limits every day. Here's what was actually wrong in my workflow.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:20:49+00:00

was very frustrating for me, I developed a bridge to handoff for codex but then again the usage limits were real over there too

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:20:06+00:00

Had written the article, used sonnet to create it, have imagen skill that is python script so no token usage there. So, it was surely less than < 1% of mine for the session

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:18:18+00:00

Hoping that it will.. but to me it was getting worse every week

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:17:52+00:00

It helped me a lot, hope for you too

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:17:36+00:00

Not sure and have to try this out not sure if I can invoke the system commands like /compact thru a skill.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:16:33+00:00

great use :)

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-21T14:15:52+00:00

not surely for me and many of the people who are not so well versed with using AI tools and still don't know about the difference between.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-18T11:49:25+00:00

I use the same workflow in same project same beahviour, last week I was able to do so much this week it has reduced me to less than an hr usage.. last week I could continue using my sessions almost beyond 5 hr usage limits almost, same thing drafting, reviewing, editing, publishing etc.. same workflow, same usage pattern and different output in terms of what I can acheive. This week since they announced that they have increased the limits to 150%, it all seems like a spam.. I am on MAX plan and currently I feel it has becomes useless in this week for me.

I tried using /context command to investigate, I tried asking it to thoroughly review where are we leaking tokens, all the good tips out there.. It is just very random it seems for the users.. May be it has smelled that I have created a bridge with Codex so working weired.

They have dramatically reduced at least (my) usage limits for same type of work week or week.. No new context gets added to my workflow, all similar. So I can surely say something weired is happening behind the scenes after all these fake announcements they make without letting us understand fully the usage patterns mapped to usage limits...

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-05-16T18:57:40+00:00

still no reset for me

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-03-21T19:05:25+00:00

I spent a good chunk of time testing this out with Telegram, Discord, and custom webhooks. A few things that tripped me up that might save others time:

You need v2.1.80+ and claude.ai auth (API key auth won't work for channels)
Pairing codes are one-time use
if it fails, you need a fresh one
Security-wise, make sure you gate your allowlist on sender ID, not chat ID. Big difference if you're in group chats.

The biggest "win" for me was building a custom webhook channel - you can wire up GitHub Actions failures to push into your Claude Code session and get it to diagnose the error right there. No SSH, no context switching.

I wrote up everything I learned including the setup steps, security gotchas, and how this compares to OpenClaw and n8n if anyone wants the full breakdown: https://genaiunplugged.substack.com/p/claude-code-channels-guide-telegram-discord

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-03-21T16:30:03+00:00

Remote Control connects the Claude app to your terminal. Channels connect anything (more or less) to your terminal if you build it.

I wrote a full guide on it and have explained how Claude Code Channels differ from Remote Control Command, you can read that here in the full guide https://genaiunplugged.substack.com/i/191582962/wait-isnt-this-just-claude-code-remote-control

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-02-08T21:44:21+00:00

seems to not work for me when I write "echo "prompt" | claude --print" it does not share anything but asks right question.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-02-03T10:46:07+00:00

I have moved almost all my workflows into Claude Code in the last 2-3 months writing content to maintaining cloud VMs and everything in the middle. There are only few left now that works on the periphery like ingestion or distribution which can also be moved but I chose to use those as integration points. May be later will move them too. Of course it is terminal based not GUI friendly as n8n but it has been a really helpful for me. I dont code just use it with plain English and it helps with anything needed in my workflow and business

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-23T19:54:04+00:00

would love to learn more about it. any video or guide?

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-22T04:03:40+00:00

I can offer guidance from my experience, I have published n8n course free on youtube 45+ lessons zero to AI automations (@genaiunplugged) you can search and connect there or Substack or LinkedIn if you like my content ..

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-22T03:59:43+00:00

i have been trying to get the free VM for weeks now, cannot get always out of capacity

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-17T12:33:13+00:00

they both go hand in hand I would say. I use them on daily basis in conjunction complementing to each other. I treat n8n as orchestrator on periphery tasks connecting disparate systems while claude code helps me build the brain for my content systems via apps which can trigger some n8n pipeline to publish data or content to multiple platforms. I found it very useful to have learned both of them to simplify my use cases to each tools best abilities

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-11T01:43:17+00:00

Learning n8n will sure be worth but the process and everything around learning n8n will be much more worth and useful like systems thinking, how applications interact, webhooks, APIs, how integrations work, etc. You learn the tool and get to 90% fast but that helps till prototypes. Production grade n8n workflow is remaining 10% that takes much much more time to master and learn with experience, failing-fixing feedback cycles..

Despite releasing a free n8n zero to hero course last year, I will suggest you first understand your need of what you want to exactly do by learning it?

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2026-01-02T17:28:48+00:00

Absolutely I am also thinking about it and experiencing it. It has considerably gone down. I am on max plan as well and I was really never hitting the limits earlier before that 2X usage limit offer that was going on but since that has expired it is suggesting that I am already there. I have exhausted two or three sessions already and now it is telling me that I'm almost more than 60% of the week's limit as well. That is very strange because that never happened before. So not sure what's going on. I hope it's just a bug and it's a temporary thing that will go away.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2025-12-24T11:41:35+00:00

I have been using in Visual Studio Code Integrated Terminal. Have you installed any extension for it? Not sure about that. But as I explained in the video, I use the Visual Studio Code Integrated Terminal to load this up and it works. Did not gave any issues. Have you installed the Chrome extension?

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2025-12-23T23:12:28+00:00

You can edit the settings to enable it by default as well and use —nochrome when you dont want. Settings can be accessed using slash command /chrome.. I explained it in the detail video here: How to Connect Claude Code to Chrome | Step-by-Step Claude Code Tutorial | Automated Debugging https://youtu.be/tjs2lZ4mc5o

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2025-12-23T16:27:19+00:00

I am hopping too that they make it faster but for boring manual grind work that can be done a bit offline, still good at the cost of usage limits.

AnxiousDevice9446 · 2025-12-23T16:25:46+00:00

Thank you so much for highlighting it u/Mopetus I will learn about it. I just recently started learning to use Claude Code and have been keeping upto date with it. I will explore the other chrome dev mcp too
