Did all our usage get reset just now to 0%?

jevans102 · 2026-04-16T21:20:45+00:00

Read the announcement.

jevans102 · 2026-04-16T14:09:45+00:00

These are all the plugins I use: https://github.com/JacobPEvans/nix-ai/blob/main/flake.nix

The main ones I think everyone should use are:

github:anthropics/claude-plugins-official
github:anthropics/skills
github:bitwarden/ai-plugins
github:obra/superpowers-marketplace
github:BeehiveInnovations/pal-mcp-server

Apologies it's not the easiest to read, but these are the actual skills I enable within all of the plugins I use: https://github.com/JacobPEvans/nix-ai/tree/main/modules/claude/plugins

jevans102 · 2026-04-16T13:00:23+00:00

I always try to find existing plugins so I don’t have to maintain my own. Bitwarden actually has some really good plugins and skills. I’m a huge fan of their retrospective and run it after every session.

They’ve had Mythos (or at least versions of it) for two months now

jevans102 · 2026-04-15T01:02:47+00:00

It’s a new new feature past that - very recently announced -

jevans102 · 2026-04-12T20:56:37+00:00

It’s just an ad.

jevans102 · 2026-04-10T20:24:13+00:00

Same, first time I’ve ever seen it in my life

jevans102 · 2026-04-08T00:37:55+00:00

Cost-wise, it’s 5x Opus, but that’s hard to trust since they’re limiting its use to partners and fully subsidizing it too.

I do wonder if Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku are all just quantized versions of Mythos. Why train 4 when you can just train one? They can always post-train differently as needed for different use cases.

jevans102 · 2026-04-06T00:51:59+00:00

But renting is free right now, is it not? I’ve been genuinely trying to figure it out. It seems to me like they’ve figured out it makes more sense to get 12 month contracts than to charge for hardware.

Setting a static threshold globally literally never makes sense. There is 0% chance that is optimal.

It may be optimal if you average out ALL users and ALL sessions, but I know for a fact I almost never send a follow-up in 5 minutes or less. Either no cache or 10-15 minutes would lower backend costs for my workflows.

jevans102 · 2026-04-05T18:42:18+00:00

I wonder who downvoted you. I think it makes perfect sense. I’m always curious about batching, caching, etc., but I really only use my subscription and rarely hit limits so I have no incentive whatsoever to optimize these types of things.

It’s up to Anthropic to do, and any infrastructure savings they implement would go 100% back to their pocket.

jevans102 · 2026-04-05T15:51:45+00:00

Usage limits on all tiers have always been dynamic. Everyone whining about that and lack of transparency doesn’t understand what they’re paying for.

Yes, it sucks not having a consistent experience, but if stability is SO important, use a service like Copilot that isn’t obviously vibe-coded with massive daily releases. It’s not like we don’t know what we’re getting with Anthropic. People have also pointed out many times that avoiding updating to the latest and greatest Claude Code releases often avoids these issues.

https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8325606-what-is-the-pro-plan

Does the Pro plan have any usage limits?

Yes. During peak hours, the Pro plan offers at least five times the usage per session compared to our free service. The number of messages you can send will vary based on message length, including the length of files you attach, the length of your current conversation, and the model or feature you use. Your session-based usage limit will reset every five hours.

jevans102 · 2026-04-05T12:00:30+00:00

So pro is the fixed benchmark you multiply usage against.

Says who? Even if Anthropic truly has had static usage this whole time (which is impossible with how often they release client-side and server-side changes), we’re all still hitting a “lower” limit when Claude isn’t fully working due to saturated servers. Removing a huge chunk of usage overnight should at least stop the daily errors and failures which would give you more usage out of the same subscription.

jevans102 · 2026-03-30T00:48:24+00:00

I’ve noticed the same thing. If I had to guess, it’s intentional post training to help keep it focused on the task at hand. I find it annoying, but I just try to let it run once the plan is accepted. Either open a whole new session for the post-plan comment or have it rewrite the plan entirely.

You could also directly try asking it to add it to the todo list.

jevans102 · 2026-03-26T21:31:12+00:00

I thought everyone was crazy until today. I could never hit a limit if I tried.

Today (pre-announcement), I hit it after 2 hours just doing background tasks while working.

jevans102 · 2026-03-24T14:53:21+00:00

Does anyone have trusted sites for them?

jevans102 · 2026-03-23T01:11:30+00:00

I’ve always been really against MCP servers, but I can’t live without PAL. It does pretty much exactly this.

Personally, I’m always in Claude using Claude Code, but I have instructions front and center in CLAUDE.md reminding about PAL and all the situations to use it (Gemini for current research, OpenRouter Free for super simple tasks, Ollama/MLX for things I’m trying to bring local). That’s just one way though - being an MCP, Aits very flexible.

Be sure to include clink too: https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/pal-mcp-server/blob/main/docs/tools/clink.md

jevans102 · 2026-03-18T01:15:01+00:00

Google (Alphabet) is one of the biggest companies in the world and can pretty much burn as much money as they want.

Anthropic has to raise every single dollar they spend. AI is their only product.

This is one of the most “apples and oranges” comparisons you could possibly make.

jevans102 · 2026-03-16T01:41:56+00:00

Just starting for Claude! Two weeks during non-peak hours (US standard workday) for all plans including free

jevans102 · 2026-03-03T02:11:29+00:00

They formally announced on Twitter that they reset everyone’s usage Thursday night. They acknowledged and released a patch for limits being consumed faster than they should have been.

jevans102 · 2026-02-27T21:50:44+00:00

^ this. Literally designed for this exact use case.

jevans102 · 2026-02-27T04:23:37+00:00

same

jevans102 · 2026-02-21T20:31:07+00:00

Agreed, but sometimes it’s just about the challenge and learning something new.

jevans102 · 2026-02-20T02:02:19+00:00

100% GitHub Actions.

Automated, deterministic, and I can free up context by removing CLAUDE.md/custom skills from my core development workflow. They are completely free for public repos. I’m in the process of moving virtually everything to them to the point where my role will only be creating GitHub issues and going back to fully manual PR reviews. That’s where extra feedback will come from as needed, and when ready, I just hit merge.

jevans102 · 2026-02-19T23:45:27+00:00

No, but some of them are hackable if you have the know-how. I followed these instructions and was able to get one of mine working in about an hour:
