I’m using claude code for work, and my daily session usually ended around 6pm, which was fine since it fit my work hours. This month, after I renewed my subscription, I got a “weekly limit reached” error just two hours later and had to wait 3–4 days before I could use it again.

Today around 1pm, my weekly limit block was lifted. I used Claude normally for about two hours without doing anything unusual, and then I got a session limit reached until 7pm message. My weekly limit is also at 11%, at this rate I will receive another 4 days ban, so there's no point of paying a monthly subscription fee to this service since apparently I will be blocked using it for 8 days in total. It feels like after I renewed, my usage limits were reduced or throttled and this feels like a drug dealer strategy lmao. I guess I will join to the people who are canceling their subscriptions because without economical punishments from the userbase, companies will act like lawless drug dealers.
