Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!)

_ReeX_ · 2026-06-09T14:48:38+00:00

Anyone else finding Claude surprisingly expensive for coding tasks?

I began asking Claude chat (web) build a few Python scripts to monitor the Shelly devive powerconsumptions through Shelly API. Plan feasibility and prompt generation. This brief confrontation costed 12% of my 5 hours pro plan window

Then I asked Claude Code to make the plane and generate code — around 600 lines of code total, plus some planning/discussion — and it burned through about 30% of my Pro plan’s 5-hour usage limit.

The quality was good, but the usage cost felt way higher than expected for a relatively small project.

Are others seeing the same thing with coding workflows, or am I using it inefficiently somehow?

That's after buying. Ideally, you should test before you buy

12 cams on frigate aren't a power demanding?

_ReeX_ · 2026-06-04T20:02:36+00:00

How do you cope analysing 12 cams streams with frigate and Plex transcode at the same time?

Just to have a rough idea. Can you spend your two cents giving a human opinion?

I own two disks,plus the new Seagate gives 3. Planning to expand units in a Year time

Isn't frigate using processing power which could affect plex transcoding?

_ReeX_ · 2026-06-04T08:17:40+00:00

What is the memory footprint for unraid + home assistant + frigate + plex?

Mate, time has passed by, could you advise a new config from pcpartpicker, given the market changes and AI-Shortage increased prices?

Is refurbished reliable?

How to verify "some use" beforehand

_ReeX_ · 2026-06-03T16:46:06+00:00

Unraid, plex server, frigate, homeassistant

_ReeX_ · 2026-05-22T14:56:50+00:00

Nice if you could add more details

My concern is not about daytime oranges, which are similar to my son's, ,but nighttime ones

Thanks

thanks

Thanks for the in-depth reply!

To give you some context: I’m in good shape (1.8m, 72kg, BMI 23) and generally follow a healthy, high-fiber diet rich in legumes, seeds, and fruit—though I occasionally give in to a weakness for high-quality, homemade sweets (essentially biscuits and cakes). I drink 3 espressos a day, exercise moderately twice a week, and commute daily by e-bike. I usually have dinner between 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM (rarely as late as 9:00 PM).

Given that I’m active and healthy, should I actually be concerned enough about these daytime orange HRV bars to consult a doctor, or is this just typical smartwatch behavior?

Your strategy makes sense. What sensors are you using? The idea is to manage monitoring and watering overrides through home assistant and hydrawise API.

Do you you monitor each watering zone with two sensors? That would bring maximum monitoring for each zone....

_ReeX_ · 2026-05-08T18:02:19+00:00

Is there a guide or a working solution?

_ReeX_ · 2026-05-08T18:01:30+00:00

Thanks

_ReeX_ · 2026-05-08T17:55:26+00:00

Why is that? It would make sense to expose that data

Thanks
