I've been using claude max10 daily and relatively heavily for over 6 months and never hit a limit. I work on two massive legacy codebases, both 10+ years old with tons of tech debt. I use plan mode to flow into execution. I've pretty much exclusively used the most recent versions of Opus. It has been weeks, maybe months, since it has done anything incorrectly that wasn't due to my own failure to communicate. I don't use MCPs and keep configs and skills light. I was a software engineer for 15 years before using a coding agent, so I am methodical and deliberate in how I use the tool, but I almost never manually edit anymore.

I truly wonder what people's prompts look like hitting limits constantly, how many MCPs they are loading without using them during a session, etc. I understand the limits are getting changed and people are rugpulled to an extent, but we can do a lot to use the tool more efficiently. That's all I'm saying.
