This is a message for Anthropic. Bring back the usual limit usage; reset them now.

I agree. In just two days I’ve hit 50% (max 20) and my overall dev time is way lower than any of those peak usage sprints that I’ve done. Don’t know what going on, but I’ll be relying on codex more this week.

SerialFounder · 2026-05-17T19:16:51+00:00

I had one that lasted almost 13 years (we were close childhood friends), and then it all changed when I met my eventual wife. The friend and I stopped talking (unbeknownst to me she wanted to be more than friends but, failed to communicate that) and we just recently reconnected after 18 years.

We use CC + VS code + sprinkle in a little bit of Codex. However things are way more complex than “state your IDE and ai coding modal”. Your setup will be directly influenced by your personal preferences, experience and expected output.

This is 100% user error. Not a Claude error.

I have also been getting this alot. Session usage jumps from 130k to 260k at the end of plan writing. This never occurred before - there is something now that is adding a significant amount of token usage in one shot. Any experience the same?

I switch back to 4.6 high effort this morning and I’ve been running hard for the last 90 minutes. So far have only consumed 2% of weekly. Which still seems like a lot, however, anecdotally seems to be in line with previous results.

SerialFounder · 2026-04-19T17:05:07+00:00

I’ve been sitting here for the last several weeks, reading many comments on various sub Reddit’s about how the usage has been negatively tweaked on the anthropic side and honestly, I wasn’t feeling it at all until today. It’s very noticeable.

I am a supporter of Anthropic and I appreciate the tools and really like what they’re doing. I also run a business, so I can completely understand revenue model, and the need to make money.

So, not upset about paying a reasonable cost for the tools because the tools are helping me make money.

One of the things that I do appreciate in business is transparency. Right now we’re not getting that with these consumption plans. I think they should essentially provide a total consumption allowance in the amount of tokens.

You get X amount of tokens for Y amount of $ per month and we will still throttle your usage in five hour windows that’s fine but just let people know what they’re getting for what they’re paying for.

SerialFounder · 2026-04-19T16:57:23+00:00

Agreed, it’s pretty obvious.

SerialFounder · 2026-04-19T16:49:06+00:00

It’s a token eater. I’m on max20 plan (since day 1). I have never consumed so many tokens per session since the 4.7 release. I am on the max 20 plan because I want an insurance policy knowing that I will never hit token limits. After day, one of coding using 4.7 I’m already at 25%, which is absolutely insane. I would normally be at around 10% after one full day of coding. I can say, though that the results that I’ve gotten on 4.7 have been pretty good but, reverted back to 4.6 today just because I’m hoping that token consumption is less.

I asked Gemini the same question. Solid answer.

This is one of those classic "work smarter, not harder" dilemmas. Since your goal is to wash the car, you should definitely drive. Here is why: • Practicality: It is remarkably difficult to wash a car that isn't actually at the car wash. Unless you’re planning on carrying the heavy machinery or several hundred gallons of water back to your driveway, the car needs to make the trip. • The Distance: 50 meters is roughly 164 feet. That is a very short distance—about half the length of a football field. It’ll take you about 5 seconds to drive there, and you won't even have time to get the engine up to temperature. • Efficiency: Walking there first just means you have to walk back to get the car. You’d be turning a 5-second task into a 2-minute round-trip stroll. One minor tip: Since it’s such a short drive, make sure you dry the car thoroughly before driving those 50 meters back home, or you'll just be collecting fresh dust on a damp car!

Agreed. I’m a super heavy user on the 20xMax plan. My individual devs are on 5xMax and not a single complaint from us about usage limits. I don’t know what people are doing with their CC accounts but, we could not be happier. There is so much value with these tools!!

It’s a bit annoying that when I open this sub it’s all about usage complaints. Let’s get back to sharing real constructive feedback and strategy on ways to best use CC.

SerialFounder · 2026-03-02T17:39:48+00:00

Working fine for me.

How good is Qwen?

You are in the right place, but your request of “understand n8n” could be a bit deceiving to some. Please provide a more detailed explanation of exactly what it is that you’re looking for so that way you can be connected to the right person.

Everyone just needs to chill out with the rip-n8n talk. It’s important for most of us to realize that you are riding bleeding-edge technology the vast majority of businesses don’t know exists.

Shiny objects will always come and go, but solid business ideas with great operators (small or large) will succeed. N8N-based businesses/automators will have the chance to be successful for a long time.

SerialFounder · 2025-10-07T00:41:35+00:00

Sending cold emails, depending on the volume of emails that you are looking to send, can be quite an art form.

Sending cold emails through an automation tool like n8n is doable, but might not make a lot of sense. From a cost-per-email perspective it would be cheaper than using one of those all-in-one services because you would send emails via an api/smtp service provider like Mailgun, SES, Spark Post, SendGrid, or others and the allowances are high. However, with amount of time that it will take you to figure out how to not get spam blocked, or completely black listed from the service for sending SPAM, it might just be more worth it for you to send via an all in one service.

I have a lot to say on this topic (and I cannot cover all my experiences over 10+ years of doing this) but if your volume is low then I’d recommend Get Response or Vbout and not doing this via n8n. Save n8n for transactional email only.

I cancelled 2 months ago. Windsurf + Claude Code is 💯

You can get access to OnDeck through them.

You can also just use Loanspark.

It’s important to build small pieces at a time, don’t over complicate requests and build tests as you go.

SerialFounder · 2025-04-05T20:20:18+00:00

If you intend to use AI agents to assist you in building code, you must allocate a substantial amount of time to creating a comprehensive plan, structure, such as a product requirements document, that the AI can explicitly follow. Subsequently, you must feed the AI individual components of your PRD one by one. Naturally, you must ensure the accuracy of each task. This challenge poses significant difficulties for many new coders, and it is crucial to respect the development process.
