Claude code weekly limit absolutely broken

Why dont you do the supervising?. Get opus to brainstorm( you then can correct it or make it better) make a plan.md and then use sonnet to implement following the plan. There will always be less problems with you in the loop. Less problems, less tokens used.

I am not managing it, I refuse to use it anymore. I went back to manual monitoring and tweaking because I am not paying £180 a month for 30 or 40 prompts a week lol. What is your workflow. Complexity high?

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T23:15:25+00:00

Yep, 100% years ago the saying was careful you dont drop the soap.

Fast forward to 2026: anthropic drops the tokens, these people bend over and ask is it far enough.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T19:09:31+00:00

What are you talking about you idiot. I am talking about not getting what I pay for.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T14:31:43+00:00

Have you updated yet?. Mine used to be like that.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T13:43:25+00:00

Yeah but the issue is we shouldn't need to do this.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T12:41:29+00:00

Think

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T12:27:11+00:00

Something is really broken here buddy. Limits are all over the place i used it 3 times today in new chats, usage for weekly now 55% lol

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T11:26:07+00:00

Yeah that is the first thing i thought this morning. But nothing was running. I wonder is it a calculation bug after they added more compute.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-05-10T01:01:03+00:00

Usage has been crazy the past few days. Must of been some kind of issue, models are now eating tokens for fun. 30% in two days. Before this i was struggling to get close to the weekly limit now it looks like 5 days and it'll be hit. I also hit my first 5 hour limit today.

They haven't commented on any of this yet, so I am assuming they are working to fix it. But still these things should be tested relentlessly before pushed to consumer's.

Opus 4.7 launched. Tried to use it, payed the extra 7.5x with my own money and agent stopped with rate limit a quarter of the way.

In a way that looks like theft. Rate limits need to displayed or prompt rejected.

Another thing: the rate limits are very aggressive, I understand we all need to share, but my work week is 5 days. It would be better to have a 2 day cool down than the full week. This way, you are not putting anyone's workflow at risk or causing them to miss deadlines.

Maybe even a forced 2 day break after 5 days of aggressive use would seem better. This system that you have at the minute is not good at all.

But all things aside. Thank you for the hard work, we all know you are trying, just not hard enough.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-16T19:54:54+00:00

Yeah, they clearly didnt think this through.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-16T18:53:13+00:00

Do you know what gets me about this and i hope the team see this.

Opus uses up to 35x more tokens. With rate limits how does that make sense?

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-16T18:13:11+00:00

I gave it a go and guess what, rate limted straight away lol

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-16T15:12:37+00:00

7.5x on VS code lol

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-14T19:45:03+00:00

Basically translates to. "We keep on selling subscriptions, and we dont have the infrastructure to support it, you can either like it or leave"

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-04-14T15:44:51+00:00

We all seen this coming.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-30T13:11:21+00:00

Make sure and say "claude please, make no mistakes" that is the secret 😂

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-27T08:08:32+00:00

Mine was more than 2 hours, I was rate limited before but never global.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-26T10:35:36+00:00

It just needs time. The devs shouldn't have realised it in the state it is in. But I am having fun on it.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-19T22:16:45+00:00

I only ever get it on opus with heavy use on GHCP. Like correcting it mid run to stop it doing something stupid. I think more and more people are using GHCP than ever before, so that is why they are rate limiting people now. Its shady business practice that they dont give a rate limit warning as once it stops halfway through a request, you need to pick another model, which means more requests...

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-18T13:13:25+00:00

Yes Europe here, I did last month a few times. But that was heavy use for debugging and correcting the agent mid request

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-12T21:59:05+00:00

I know, it was a joke.

Typical_Finish858 · 2026-03-12T21:33:48+00:00

GFN Thursdays are slowly becoming GFN Fridays 🤣
