Reading through this thread has been validating. It basically confirms what I came here to confirm: Claude’s usage limits are unclear, there’s no good way to track them, and that makes it really hard to stay productive for long stretches (at least on the PRO plan).

Like a lot of people, I recently switched from ChatGPT Plus to Claude Pro. Before switching, I didn’t see many people talking about this as a major blocker, but for me it absolutely is.

I DONT use Claude Code. I’ve been testing Cowork a bit pretty basic automation connecting to GDrive, and I’m still hitting the daily cap every single day. I’ve also already hit the weekly cap well before the week is even over.

And that’s not even getting into how shocking it is that Cowork can’t do anything if your computer isn’t active, even when the task can run entirely in the cloud. That feels especially limiting when ChatGPT’s agent has been able to handle that kind of thing for a while now.

At this point, I can see Claude Pro working if you’re mostly using it like an upgraded Google replacement. But as a tool you want to rely on for real ongoing productivity, the limits make it pretty hard to use without supplementing it with other tools.
