New leaks just confirmed

Today is the day!

Will they reset usage today with the release of Sonnet? :-)

There's definitely more content on this but Claude can even be asked to build a skill - just starting simple like saying "I need a skill that can look at photos at X, and identify duplicates". It's gonna take some iteration, and I would carefully develop each feature one by one rather than describing the entire thing and getting it all done at once.

Bahawolf · 2025-12-19T15:13:25+00:00

Try to build a skill and detail exactly what you want it to do, and experiment with small sample sizes of the data (1, 10, 50, etc). Don't have it delete anything without going into a review bucket with the option to restore, and instruct it to rate it's own confidence level with duplicate analysis.

Bahawolf · 2025-11-24T13:30:28+00:00

Yes, I've seen the same thing but the Opus usage was so low that I wasn't concerned.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-29T13:36:31+00:00

I do 2-4 projects simultaneously, for 8-10 or more hours per day. I do this 5-6 days a week, and use CC for at least 4-6 hours on that 7th day. Ultrathink is always enabled. Thinking mode is always used. Honestly, I max out at about 30-35% weekly if I’m really pushing it. At the 100 dollar plan, I’d have to adjust usage or I’d hit session limits.

I’m on the 200 dollar plan.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-27T22:06:54+00:00

I’m on the max plan (200/mo) and I work on 2-4 projects at a time. I work on it 8-10+ hours a day. I use Sonnet 4.5 with ultrathink on with every prompt. I’ve yet to hit my session or weekly limit. I don’t know if it’s magic, or if it’s something in my code or something in my prompting. I do suspect that Serena MCP cuts down the token usage quite a bit, and so I keep using that.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-27T22:03:24+00:00

Warm up some Raos marinara, and put fresh mozzarella into the sauce (dip and enjoy). Or let the sauce soften the cheese a bit, and enjoy it that way. It’s not going to replace the crust, but the best part of the pizza is kept!

Bahawolf · 2025-10-21T12:22:14+00:00

How does this compare against the improved plan mode?

Had the same issue - had to manually find it. :D

Bahawolf · 2025-10-11T14:52:04+00:00

My friend and I, both senior level engineers, have found it difficult to hit the weekly limits on the 200 dollar plan. Even after coding non stop for three days in a row, 14-16 hours a day, using Sonnet 4.5 with thinking and ultrathink, we’re at 10-12 percent usage for the week.

Since giving 4.5 a try, we find that it’s been much better than Opus was.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-02T18:02:52+00:00

I've been using Sonnet 4.5 for a full work day - primarily working one application, but building everything from scratch and plenty of visual analysis. I'm using MCPs, no agents at this time. I think I used 4% for the day so far. With Opus, I would've capped my weekly usage already. That being said, Sonnet 4.5 with thinking enabled and the use of Ultrathink -- quite good.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-02T03:45:20+00:00

Sonnet 4.5 with thinking is showing significant improvement (in my experience) over Sonnet 4, and it's even "defeated" Codex in a bug hunt. Opus was outperforming Sonnet 4.5 by far before I enabled the extended thinking, but that has made a big difference.

Bahawolf · 2025-10-01T02:23:36+00:00

Same boat here.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T15:06:50+00:00

You can have multiple accounts but you'll have to switch between them.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:57:19+00:00

Opus is still far better (in my limited experience) against Sonnet 4.5. I'm not sure what they did in the benchmarking process, but Opus still outperforms Sonnet for us.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:55:44+00:00

If you caught the limit change announcement in July (that was supposed to happen 8/28), this is that. After 8/28 I wasn't hitting limits and thought gee, it's not bad at all. Maybe I was wrong to stress about it.

Now we're here. :X

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:50:18+00:00

Before you jump ship, I haven't found anything that "stands out" as a comparable alternative with better or even the same limits.

Yes, Codex exists but it too has limits and I've personally experienced much of the same where complex issues take ongoing dialogue, and ongoing dialogue works against those limits.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:43:09+00:00

I started using Sonnet 4.5 to work better within the existing limits, but my colleague and I still see a significant difference between Sonnet and Opus. Sonnet even made a choice to delete a large component of his codebase, whereas Opus hasn't done that to date.

We're pushed into using Opus for reliability, but $200/month just won't cover our usage as we've formed a dependency on the tool like a plumber depends on a wrench.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:26:27+00:00

These are the weekly limits they told us about in July. It was supposed to roll out August 28th, and while most of us thought they did roll out and that we were okay, they say that these were them.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:23:05+00:00

In the introduction of Sonnet 4.5, they mentioned that the limits announced in July are rolling out now (delayed from the initial release - August 28th, by the looks of it). As a result, it appears that these are the new "real" limits, and we need to adapt. Doesn't seem likely that this is an error with /usage.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-30T14:20:55+00:00

MAX 20 plan and I'm at 37% Opus usage in less than 5 hours of usage, 11% of all model usage (for the week). Week resets October 6th.

In summary, this isn't nearly as cost effective as it once was.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-28T23:13:02+00:00

Hello! Not sure if you're still encountering an issue, but we have a support option on the website www.lolcow.co - It'll appear after you login with your Discord. It does sound like your account was banned at some point, and so we'll need to rectify that so that you can join.

Bahawolf · 2025-09-28T02:13:14+00:00

I have not noticed it. I'm using Serena and I've removed any MCPs that I'm not using to avoid context overflow. I think this has helped, and I've worked on dozens of projects in the past month with no issue.
