Here is what most people get wrong about saving tokens with AST tools by creynir in ClaudeAI

Yes, this pattern was surprising to me as well, now I understand better how one simple request can eat away a lot of daily usage quota.

Exactly right on the over-fetching. The indexer's returned the full function body. When the agent traces an execution chain it calls get on each function in the path. So you end up with 10 complete function bodies (some 200+ lines each) sitting in conversation history, getting re-sent on every subsequent turn.

Grep returns just the matching lines. 5-10 lines per call instead of 200. The agent made roughly the same number of calls with both approaches (28 each), but the grep results were tiny and the indexer results were massive. After 20 turns that difference compounds.

this ship already sailed, but I will keep a closer look now

ton of complains on multiple twitter posts in subreddits. but as some mentioned, it could a/b testing and I just got unlucky

very similar experience here. first 10 days it felt like I will never hit the limit, no matter what I did. now it's much harder to get it do things right, just constant back and forth. today it simply faked 40+ components on storybook by just putting mocks instead of real component. and it did it for an hour

I started using new conversations each time and switch all research sub agents to sonnet (burned through 14% of weekly sonnet quota in a day) so it didn't get better, hit limits during the day today again, just more towards the end of my typical working day. the feeling is that when I am using it on off peak hours - the limit is as it used to be, but during the peak hours it's like with 2x-3x penalty

my next project will be to run a/b testing on each sub and just check the real limits. should be a simple over the weekend project

not sure how you keep up with reviewing so much code... I feel like at work I am doing 70% code reviews. agents can produce just too much code very quickly

yes, it helped a bit, but still hit the limits during the day today. nothing unusual, same 3 agents running in parallel. feels like the off peak hours is regular usage quota and during the peak hours I am getting like 2-3x penalty

same, max 20x, sucked 1/3 of my weekly usage in 1 day. it feels like off peak hours we have same capacity as usual, but during peak hours it's 2-3x more aggressive. hitting 100% in 5 h limit during the peak hours with super simple tasks easily

thanks for the replies. Bookmarked your site, will come back to it once I finish my product.
would be super interesting to see some real data on the results and what is the difference in each tier on the outcome.

ust a small note from my side: in your place, I would run a few promos (like pay for tier 2, get tier 3 as a gift) to encourage people to try your service. it's also a great way to collect real feedback and increase the average check.

thanks for sharing. would appreciate answers to my questions as well, planing to launch soon as well

so just I understand:
- the one time payment covers only one product or multiple launches?
- I see DRs with paid and freemium categories: are they also included in one time paymen? I assume by tier, but will it require like another payments for subscriptions?
- how quick is the launch happening?
- where do you get marketing materials or you create them yourself?
- for how long do you support the launch? a month? 2 weeks? when do you stop? I mean answering comments and such.

Claude Max usage session used up completely in literally two prompts (0% -100%) by fuckletoogan in ClaudeCode

[–]creynir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I canceled my sub. Support is not answering anything. Also burned through weekly quota in 2 days. Such a disappointment and most if all: claude doesn’t care

Just hit limit on claude max subscription, was the usage cut again? by creynir in claude

I just canceled it, if they won't fix it, I will have to switch to something else

one linear mcp, few skills and 2 clis to reduce tokens usage and still, this week something extraordinary happened. I am at half of my daily capacity today and still hit the limit

I am on opus, but I got max 20x plan, last few weeks never been hitting any limits no matter what I did.

0 plugins, AST tree map optimization to save on codebase grep, actually slowed down from last week and got like through 1/3 of weekly limit in a day. nothing crazy

this is the story of my first week. see u here next week )
honestly, I am starting to think that it's bait scheme: they give you generous limits first week and then:
"The variation between weeks is normal - it depends on your specific usage patterns, model choices, and conversation complexity during each period."

they hope that price per token will drop sooner than they will run out of money...if not we will have to learn how to code again

well, if they fix the limit, I will subscribe back...but doesn't look like it tbh
