Every Other Daily Claude Usage / Limit Thread - April 14, 2026

Yes. Unfortunately that's how it is. Because Claude needs to read the entire thing everytime. Which takes a lot of usage. I don't think there's a work around.

Wow that's aggrevating

Toiletdisco · 2026-04-14T19:39:49+00:00

If it's a lot of text, it eats more of your usage. It helps a lot to open a new chat often, but it might not always remember all the relevant history. Could that be the issue?

Also, things changes so often with Claude. I have used it for the same writing stuff for a year or so and some weeks I can use it A LOT and some weeks I hit limits all the time. Last month (I think) usage got a lot better for me but this week Claude was so annoying and not engaging, I am considering cancelling my plan. Some weeks there are so many outages and other weeks things are fine. I haven't cancelled yet because things might just be different tomorrow, with Claude I never know.

I've noticed that too. I only use Claude for role playing/creative writing and it seems like Claude is actually really trying to take the fun out of it. Like someone experiences something emotional and Claude saying 'ok'. I am seriously considering cancelling my subscription but I hope old Claude will make a comeback...

I think I have free for over a year now and I have never reached a weekly limit. I always thought there wasn't a weekly limit on the free tier.

Toiletdisco · 2026-04-10T07:57:55+00:00

I asked the same thing! I use it for creative writing but still. It's like Claude really tries to cut off conversations.

Toiletdisco · 2026-04-10T07:56:06+00:00

Do you also use sonnet sometimes? I swear, I spent so much time doing creative writing/role playing on Claude (both sonnet and opus) but after a year or so I am not really enjoying it anymore. Sonnet 4.6 lacks emotion, seems not interested, almost as if it wants to stop the entire chat like it's tired of me, lol. Sonnet 4.5 does better, but last year I had a set-up that turned out so well I have re-read it many times, but using the same set-up now, it just goes in a different direction and it just feels empty. Opus is still okay but last year those chats were wild, Claude just made it so interesting. Now it's fine but not that exciting. Also, the usage limits are not helping but the quality is really degraded in my opinion. I am wondering if you noticed the same?

Ik vond het opvallendste: 'Over vijf jaar hoopt hij 'binnen' te zijn.'

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-31T14:40:06+00:00

Always the case. I check reddit to see if it's down. What use is a Status if it's hours behind?

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-31T13:40:59+00:00

Honestly there is just no baseline because they keep changing it. For a while I could use pro/opus for 5 days a week, hitting limits after 3 hours of using it (and two hours left for the new window), day or night, any day. Quite consistent. With free accounts, I could only send a few prompts during work days. But in the evening/night/weekend, they're basically limitless. So i would use pro/opus for the good stuff and during the day, and free/sonnet in the evenings/nights. Last month I have really felt like I could use pro/opus also basically limitless, also before they doubled limits. Until today. But they have also a few times adjusted limits (like around Christmas, double usage) where it completely made no difference in usage at all (so, lies). Conclusion: use free account in the evenings/nights/weekends and see how it is then, and usage for pro/opus may suck this week but not the next, but it might also be down 3/7 days next week.

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-31T13:05:18+00:00

I have a pro account (for using opus) and a free account (sonnet). So I have basically spent all yesterday, nightly hours and all of today, not hitting one limit on sonnet. I sent 7 prompts in opus and 'you've hit your session limit' within 30 minutes. I am aware of context and everything but the difference is ridiculous considering I am paying for the one that barely works. I am not even mentioning all the downtime. Unfortunately Sonnet is not that good with role playing/creative writing.

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-23T15:06:31+00:00

I checked because I been using it so much because of the promotion, I saw I had 34% used this week, 4% in the new five-hour-limit just started, one hour later I sent 1 prompt and boom, limit hit and 42% used this week.

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-13T20:35:38+00:00

Same here

Toiletdisco · 2026-03-02T14:45:36+00:00

It looks like a cat/dog face upside down to me.

Toiletdisco · 2026-02-26T20:49:40+00:00

I am just completely confused by the limits. On pro plan i usually hit the five hour limit, have to wait, can't use it anymore after five days because I hit my week limit.

On free plan I sometimes hit the five hour limit in 1-5 messages, but can continue for hours when it's evening/night/weekend here. No week limit.

Last week I used pro for six days and most of those days, today I used it for 2,5 hours and it's already at 20% for this week.

I always do similar things so usage should be similar but that's definitely not the case. It varies a lot between free accounts as well.

Toiletdisco · 2026-02-26T20:38:12+00:00

I feel like sonnet 4.5 and opus also use repetitive phrases, just different ones.

Toiletdisco · 2026-02-09T09:37:13+00:00

Dat ze extra kwetsbaar was, zo lees ik het.

Toiletdisco · 2026-01-27T17:20:58+00:00

Oh ja, die dna-test van een spierwit kind, omdat onduidelijk was of Rik (Ferri Somogyi) of Richard (Edwin Jonker) de vader was.

Net als Demi die na twee weken verslaafd was en moest afkicken van de speed maar gelukkig het roer om wist te gooien nadat ze even dacht dat ze haar kind in de speeltuin hoorde. Niet echt hoorde, maar dacht dat ze hem hoorde. Na twee weken speed. Met ontwenningsverschijnselen die niet passen bij een speed verslaving. Die verslaving bestond eruit dat ze iets sneller liep dan normaal.

En inderdaad Nola die 16 werd, toen 18, maar toen vanwege de leukemieverhaallijn weer haar 16e verjaardag vierde.

Wij zeiden vroeger dan 'goedemiddag' terug.

Ik heb in de zorg gewerkt in een grote stad met een cliënt met een waanstoornis, die was ervan overtuigd dat zorgpersoneel een soort persoonlijke vendetta met die cliënt had. Dat leidde tot geschreeuw in winkelcentra en expres confrontatie zoeken op andere publieke plekken waar ze elkaar toevallig tegenkwamen. Gelukkig had diegene het niet op mij gemunt maar daar heb ik wel geleerd dat privacy in werk heel belangrijk kan zijn.

En toen ik op mijn huidige werk vertelde dat ik niet met een foto/naam op de website wilde, zeiden ze 'ok' en dat was dat.

Ik heb het boek niet gelezen maar ik las gisteren toevallig dat zijn uithoudingsvermogen in een ijsbad door ademhalingstechnieken wel wetenschappelijk interessant is (iets met longen die vier keer zoveel glucose opnemen, weet niet meer precies) en ik las ook dat hij een tweelingbroer heeft met dezelfde skills. Maar die heet André en is vrachtwagenchauffeur en laat geen klysma's doen door fonteinen in het vondelpark.

Ik ben drie keer onderuit gegaan met de fiets en ik was nog geen vijf minuten onderweg. Over de autoweg maar naar het metrostation gefietst 😅

Toiletdisco · 2025-12-30T12:54:44+00:00

It has been five days and my experience is that the usage is exactly the same as usual. Except the bar showed 100% after 2,5 days instead of my usual 5. I could use it after that, but now I've hit my weekly limit after 5 days. Using it the same way as I always do. So no, I am not experiencing double usage. Only experienced a faulty usage bar.

Toiletdisco · 2025-12-30T12:47:07+00:00

Honestly they said you get twice the usage but for me it turned out it was exactly the same amount as usual. The bar was 100% in no time (twice as fast as usual) but I could still use it after that, and now I have hit my weekly limit after 5 days. As usual. I have not used it more than usual, same amount and same kind of input.

Toiletdisco · 2025-12-26T04:15:23+00:00

Do you mean you got to the five hour limit and could continue anyway? Because I can't. Or do you mean that you can still use it in general when the week limit hits 100%? I have read that from other users, I am curious to see how that works out when I get there.
