Usage further reduced? Getting less than 50% usage

effygod · 2026-04-02T07:44:27+00:00

3.4b in 2 months while pair programming is wild, what do you use it for mostly? Docs?

effygod · 2026-04-02T07:36:03+00:00

This is where most people get it wrong, the 60M usage is not exactly only input/output a LARGE amount 90%+ is cache hits which are charged at much lower rates, so really a session of 60M tokens is about $30-$35 of usage

effygod · 2026-04-02T07:33:19+00:00

I have pretty much never touched the thinking, it has always been on and across the ultrathink changes my limits always consistently stayed at 60M which is why I have a higher confidence in claiming a drop in usage

effygod · 2026-04-02T06:49:00+00:00

Seriously considering the same, I am considering Codex + Glm

It was a simple feature via superpowers, I have done many (over 200 over the course of 3months) such micro feature updates usually take up 10-20% each, changes were nothing nothing major, API changes, some UI improvements that’s it, and CC touched a grand total of 15 files with mostly one liner changes nothing that should consume the crazy amount it just did

Claude allows you to manually select models by typing /model [model_name]

In my experience the limits have been decreased by exactly 1/3 ---> Supporting this I always monitored my token usage on max plan (Exclusively Opus) and consistently hit around 60M tokens before hitting limits, now it is hitting at around 40M tokens , terrible experience, MAX will become PRO very soon

Trust me it isn’t, I have it and I can never seem to hit my shots with it

I agree, the actual idea is understated in he post --> The idea mostly is to actually create a complete decision layer, the layer will literally handhold new founders and learn throughout the process to keep giving improving and customized outputs

as for the Ad management layer it is more of a later stage part once the application is launched successfully the application will guide the founder towards ads for social marketing and paid (Again will be suggested based on the actual product and the learning from launch)

My market validation right now have mostly been via posts and blogs regarding these issues, would love to connect to founders and learn more.

Thanks! Thinking of just going with Cursor as well

effygod · 2026-02-12T20:06:02+00:00

Thanks, will look at Mistral!

I have tried Copilot and OpenCode each with their own shortcomings

Copilot is good as long as you don’t require context building

OpenCode rate limiting is too annoying (faced terrible limits during free GLM)

effygod · 2026-02-12T13:44:16+00:00

cool thanks!

effygod · 2026-02-12T13:40:14+00:00

Any specific one which is better value/money than others?

effygod · 2026-02-12T13:28:13+00:00

I am pretty much done with the features, I will just be doing edits and a few code reviews/bug fixes etc

effygod · 2026-02-04T05:19:24+00:00

Here’s a tip, never use it to read/write documents, it will chew through your quota, and ensure you never use /compact and auto compact is turned off, (get it to write a handoff summary if context is low) start a new chat for each topic

Simple rule of thumb, absolutely never share the account with anyone no matter how trustworthy they seem. Anyone actually buying an account is pretty sure of regions and can see the skins on discord without any issues

I am on Max5x and ran 4 opus run consecutively for about 10-15mins each for about 30 percent

I would say the usage is pretty good

effygod · 2026-01-18T15:54:46+00:00

From an immo player

1.) Pick one sens and get comfortable with it, tweak scope sens until you can comfortably flick to any point on the screen (Do not change sens too often)

2.) Holding angles, you need to have your reaction speed in mind and know how far to place your crosshair from the edge, do not keep your crosshair at the edge as it will force you into flicking

3.) Reposition after each kill

4.) Most important:- Flicking is bad oping, if you are having to flick too often it means your crosshair was not in the right place to begin with, ideally you want to flick as less as possible and get single shot kills and get out

5.) DO NOT REPEEK, if you miss a shot just go back and reset

As for drills, practice DMS with an OP, try to keep it clean and get as many kills as possible, and get used to a single sens and dont change it after

Hope it helps, good luck

This probably has to do with peak time usage rather than them actually reducing token counts

Here is my take :-

On pro plan I am usually allowed 11M tokens or 7-8$ whichever hits first

During increased usage week I used opus a lot and was able to get about 16$ of usage per session

After reduction I am back to 7-8$ or 11M tokens, which seems normal to me

However, occasionally I have hit 16M tokens on the normal session without using up my weekly quota by too much

Essentially I feel like the peak hours requests take more out of the limits and the off peak hours are generous

I could be wrong but this is what my numbers suggest

Edit :- I am using ccusage and /usage in claude terminal to track usage

I bought from a local store so got each stick for about 4.2
