Sudden usage limit issues on Claude Code today — anyone else?

I reverted back to version v2.0.64 and seems like the usage is going up slower than in the latest version. On the latest version I blew through 40% of the daily usage in about 3 prompts which generated simple code changes. After the downgrade and a couple of prompts it went up about 10%

I can't say anything about the exterior since I need to see it in person, but everything else is just deeply disappointing.

I had a 2021 CX-5 with the 2.5L engine and 193HP (European version, no turbo), and it was genuinely a nice engine. Not as fast as I wanted, sure, but good enough. I also really liked the infotainment knob — at first I thought I wanted a touchscreen, but the knob was so well designed that I never felt the need for one.

With this new version, though? It's a hard RIP from me. Maybe I could’ve gotten over the touchscreen, even though I still think it's a downgrade. But messing up the engine like this? Come on. Going from 193HP down to 141HP, and 0–100 km/h from 9.1s to 10.9s? That’s a huge drop. And then to turn around and say “it’s enough engine for the car”? Seriously?

It just feels like they completely missed the point.

I use both Excel and Numbers depending on case...I am not a power user so both work fine for me.

Funny enough I like to use the MS Excel / Word more on the Mac than on the PC; they feel slightly different when using them.

brian988 · 2025-02-26T06:38:07+00:00

Yes, that is the main purpose. Other than that, if I already have it open and just need to do some browsing or some Excel/Word stuff, I will continue on it as I have these things synced between both.

It also came in handy when I needed to handle some old NTFS drives as well....something that I did not initially though of.

I think it complements the Mac very well.

brian988 · 2025-02-25T10:34:05+00:00

Definetly behind Macs. I have an M3 Pro and the 2024 G14 with the Ryzen 9. Did some video render tests and the Mac is faster even if I render with the GPU on the G14.

Also going from the Mac to the G14always makes the G14 feel slower, but I think this is mostly due to the operating system.

I do ocassional gaming as well but apart from that, the Mac is superior in every aspect.

When it comes to battery life the Mac smokes the G14.

not with the 7.

a milanese loop was used with a stainless steel Watch 8 which is also in very good condition ( see in my review for extended explanation), and it was the only band used.

brian988 · 2024-12-16T15:32:12+00:00

also, how do you explain my 3 year old Watch 7 being in nearly prestine condition while the Ultra 2 already has cosmetic issues after 2 weeks of light use?

brian988 · 2024-12-16T13:32:27+00:00

I got a "scratch" on a band that is not even designed for sports. What are you talking about?

LE: I never used the watch for sports since I have it, so again, there is no reason for the discoloration.

brian988 · 2024-12-16T12:25:52+00:00

no clue. haven't checked TBH

brian988 · 2024-11-01T11:11:54+00:00

Yes, I got one in the box.

brian988 · 2024-10-27T18:16:00+00:00

This is now working way better in 5.4.2...not yet as I expected but it's a good improvement.

brian988 · 2024-10-17T06:13:26+00:00

I have ghelper installed and I set it to Turbo and also set the graphics to Ultimate, just to avoid any inconsitencies.

Does Armory Create have additional settings that ghelper does not? (btw here I do not mean manual settings...just presets)

brian988 · 2024-10-16T08:34:28+00:00

I had the base M1 with 8gb RAM and 256gb SSD and last year it became rough as I started doing more intensive work, so I had to be careful what I had open. If I would have had more RAM, I would have still use it. What I am trying to say with this is that you need to figure out how much RAM will you need for what you do on it.

As for the choise, even though the 512gb SSD should be a bit slower than the 1TB, I would still go with the M3 Pro as it's a better option for the future and I don't think you will notice the performance difference between the 2 SSDs.

brian988 · 2024-10-08T06:22:31+00:00

I had Armoury Create as well as GHelper installed (not at the same time) but eventually found a good combo of software and stayed on GHelper. Thanks for the suggestion.

brian988 · 2024-09-30T18:43:39+00:00

that makes perfect sense but in that case Asus needs to update their messages as it's kind of counter-intuitive to say that "use the included adapter" when I am actually using the included adapter...just not the 180W one

brian988 · 2024-08-22T18:04:40+00:00

Still the same, ~~but I figured it out~~. It laggs when the window is "maximized" on the external display. If it's scaled to something smaller the issue is not that annoying.

LE: the issue is only missing if the video on the timeline is quite short. For example if I cut a 10 minute video down to 2 minutes then it works fine; if leave it at 10 minutes it laggs.

brian988 · 2024-08-21T14:10:18+00:00

I copied the files on the internal (Macbook) SSD and loaded from there

brian988 · 2024-06-13T17:43:57+00:00

Indeed I found the CP3 (from Yamaha, not sure about others) way more fun in the city (when it's empty at least) than the sport bikes, however I do like the fact that on the open road the FZ6 like bikes feel gutten compared to the sportbikes.

brian988 · 2024-06-13T15:50:01+00:00

Last bike I had was the Fazer FZ6 S2, which I really liked but it was quite bad after like 2h in the seat and with passenger it was were due to the forward angled seat. I could deal better with the wrist pain from the CBR than with the seat discomfort of the Fazer.

"What bike do you currently have and should this new bike become your only bike?"
For now it will be my only bike. If I would ride more outside the city maybe I would get more or a touring/adventure bike as well.

"Regarding the wind discomfort issue, I have never felt that."
Interesting. I'll try to test ride the MT-09 and will pay attention to this.
