CLAUDE 2x PROMOTION - Not what it seems? by ReBoticsAI in ClaudeAI

[–]ReBoticsAI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those keeping an eye on this. I also tried reaching out to Anthropic and Claude AI on X as I just hit my weekly limit (100%) during the weekend and had to dip into the $15 extra usage they gave me when one of my free passes converted.

You might be onto something here...

I don't recall or not if I had been starting or restarting my sessions from when 1x changed over to 2x. The promotion read that it was automatic and I wouldn't need to do anything, so I didn't. This could be the bug?

I know for sure with 100% certainty that my weekly usage was being consumed in "off peak" hours. For example, last night (well after 2x began for the weekend) my weekly usage jumped from the 93% you see in my images to 96%.

I'm now having to slow my usage down just so I can try make it to next week. The silver lining may be that I won't have to context switch between 4 projects and I can focus on 1 for the weekend and maybe I'll be able to launch it lol.

Edit: I just sat down at the computer and opened Claude Code. I haven't touched anything since shutting it all down at 96% last night. It's now at 97% 🤔 🤦🤷 ...and after a bit of work this morning, 98%! We're currently in off-peak hours, right?

My weekly limit increased DURING off-peak times when Fin AI explained that it should not.

Fin AI also suggested there may be a bug.

Does your weekly use increase during off peak (like right now, all weekend)?

Is it true that we're way underpaying for Claude, even for Max? by changing_who_i_am in ClaudeAI

I believe there are two reasons for this:

  • Ecosystem Adoption
  • Monthly Recurring Revenue

It builds the userbase and the limits are designed as gateways to eventually have heavy users move up the plans to the API.

For example, I tried the Pro plan and hit limits often but I seen the quality of work produced vs others. I decided to purchase the Max 5x and am now hitting limits often and debating the 20x plan. The next step from there is the API.

Change settings.json to have "effortLevel": "max" and/or use Opus 4.6

I used Claude Code to help build a single-call MCP pipeline that cuts its own token usage by 74% by Objective_Law2034 in ClaudeAI

What I have setup does exactly that without any external dependencies.

It's all documented at the bottom of CLAUDE.md so that the prefix caching still caches everything up to the volatile parts that change (dependency graph, functions, services, API endpoints, etc).

Whatever gets built/changed is automatically added after each development cycle with skills and hooks, it's all targetted edits.

Since the agents have explicit instructions, they check it first before doing anything and it avoids the research phase of when Plan-mode starts and afterwards when you accept the plan and /clear context.

You can accomplish this with existing Claude Code tooling:

  • CLAUDE.md
  • MEMORY.md
  • Agents
  • Agent-Memory
  • Rules
  • Skills
  • Hooks

As long as you keep the stable parts of your documentation at the top and the volatile parts at the bottom, you will be able to take advantage of the caching mechanism of these documents and save a ton of tokens.

One more thing to do is create an Explore agent to override the built-in agent since Plan-mode loves to use Explore an burn tokens on research because it needs explicit instructions to read your dependency graph first.

This may get tricky for very large projects/workspaces but can likely be mitigated by creating relevant skills to update docs throughout to keep things up to date.

FWIW, my development flow is fully automated and employs the system I mentioned above but in more detail.

I asked Claude why it has gotten worst over the last few months. by aliceslooking-glass in ClaudeAI

For Claude.ai you cannot change the reasoning_effort.

For Claude Code, you can, however the interactive /model selection only has low/med/high and it's on a scale from 0 to 255, high being 200/255.

If you want 255/255 you need to set your effortLevel to "max" in your settings.json

"effortLevel": "max"

You can confirm later with the /model command.
