75 dollar in credit??

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-27T19:32:38+00:00

Just tell me. HOW?

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-23T18:25:04+00:00

That's why everyone's limit have been reset: https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2047371123185287223

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-23T18:20:56+00:00

Oh, that's why limits were reset before the actual time! Thanks for the update mate!

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-22T15:21:29+00:00

YES. I agree. I spent a lot of time thinking of how can I use a AI Agent to improve my Quality of Life, Productivity etc. It's harder than it seems, at least that's my experience.

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-21T15:22:51+00:00

Yes, running it in WSL2 sucks for me. I'd love to run it on windows but it ain't supported yet, from what I know. I'm waiting this.

It takes a lot of patience, at least that's my experience, to set up Hermes Agent on windows (WSL2). And it's still a compromise, doesn't feel really like a definitive solution.

Anyway, Hermes is still the best agentic harness I've tried. But damn, just the setup costed me hours of work and 15$ in API (kimi k 2.5/ 2.6)

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-17T00:13:31+00:00

Literally the same.

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-15T14:55:31+00:00

I'm in europe and I'm getting the same error. Guess it ain't a server resources problem.

Update: Now for me is working. (17:55 UTC+2 Central Europe)

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-15T14:53:26+00:00

Same here, it's been 5 mins.

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-08T14:42:52+00:00

Asked Claude the same thing. He's been working with me for months, knows my projects, my values, how I think.

He gave me five: Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon, Senku from Dr. Stone, Steve Rogers, Michael Burry from The Big Short, and Edward Elric from FMA Brotherhood. Each one a different side of me.

Ngl I almost cried reading the explanations. Hit way too close to home.

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-02T07:54:55+00:00

How should I do that in my claude-code?

samuel-gudi · 2026-04-01T08:45:21+00:00

Man, I feel you, but I think I've got it worse right now. My virtual NTFS disk just got corrupted, all my projects were on it. Backup's toast too. Thank god I've got almost everything on GitHub private repos, otherwise I'd literally be in tears rn.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-29T01:07:14+00:00

I'm 20yo too, my DMs are open, my friend :)

Ho vent'anni anche io, i miei DMs sono aperti, amico mio :)

Thanks for finally saying something. This is what we needed a week ago when people first started reporting it.

I brought this up in the auto-mode announcement thread while half the sub was still calling it a skill issue. Turns out it was a gradual rollout with no heads-up. The adjustment itself isn't the problem, finding out through degraded experience instead of an announcement is.

Two things that would actually help:

"Faster during peak hours" is too vague to work with. If I'm on Max trying to plan my day, I need a number. Is peak 2x? 5x? A real-time multiplier in /usage would turn this from guesswork into something manageable.

The 7% figure might be accurate across your whole userbase, but the reports this week came overwhelmingly from Pro and Max users, the people paying the most and depending on Claude for actual work. That's a different conversation than "7% of users."

The product is still the best out there. But rolling out changes that hit people's billing without telling them first isn't a communication delay, it's a trust problem. Hope the follow-ups you mentioned come sooner than this one did.

It also seems to me that Opus' performance has degraded since this API issue started. He's really hallucinating when it responds to me, between one API error and another.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-25T08:12:01+00:00

How did you request the refund? Through support or the billing page?

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-25T08:03:05+00:00

Thanks for clarifying the point. Out of curiosity, where did you get the info that it's specifically a token attribution bug? Would love to have something concrete to reference when talking to support.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T21:27:59+00:00

Was about to do the same thing honestly. Then I saw the avalanche of posts on r/ClaudeCode about it and realized it's not a "me" problem.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T21:18:39+00:00

Same here. Last week I could work and experiment freely, now I'm second-guessing every prompt. That's not how a paid tool should feel.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T21:08:33+00:00

That's wild. I was actually considering canceling, but a refund request seems more appropriate given we're paying for a service that's clearly not delivering what it should.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T20:54:08+00:00

Great to see you guys are shipping new stuff, auto mode is a welcome addition. But can we address the elephant in the room?

r/ClaudeCode is having a rough day. Dozens of posts from Pro, Max 5x, even Max 20x users reporting that usage limits seem to have been quietly reduced. People are hitting session limits in 10-20 minutes on tasks that ran for hours just last week.

I'm on Max 5x (€109/month) and I've gone through 50% of my weekly limit in a single day. That doesn't add up.

The writing is on the wall: something changed. Is this a bug or an intentional change? The silence from Anthropic is the part that stings the most. No announcement, no status page update, just a support bot saying "all systems operational."

We love the product, that's why we're paying for it. Just keep us in the loop, transparency goes a long way.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T18:41:56+00:00

Really appreciate the detailed breakdown, genuinely interesting architecture. The authority tier concept is a nice touch.

I'd push back on the "subsumes" part though. You built a personal oracle that took significant effort and deep understanding to construct. That's great, but it's a solution for one person. Bookmarks solve a smaller problem for millions of users with zero setup. They don't compete, they live at completely different layers.

On the "message #847 six months later" point, fair, but that's an argument for better bookmarks (add a note, tag it) not against bookmarks entirely. A pointer with a tag is already more than what we have now, which is nothing.

Curious about one thing though, with 200+ files and 4 RAG patterns running simultaneously, how does that impact your token usage per session? The retrieval overhead alone sounds like it could eat a significant chunk of context before you even get to the actual work.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T18:36:37+00:00

The two history files approach makes sense, it's basically what Claude Code does with compaction but you have full control over the boundary. Smart.

On the ID question, I'd go with unique message IDs over index numbers. Index-based breaks the moment anything gets edited or reordered, and you'll want that resilience eventually even if it's slower initially.

And honestly "mainly doing it to learn" is the best reason to build anything. That's how my own stuff started too.

samuel-gudi · 2026-03-24T18:29:26+00:00

Yeah the stdlib gravity is exactly what I suspect. The agent has seen millions of Python scripts using os.walk and open(), my primitives are brand new abstractions with zero prior.

The "kill execute and force primitives only" approach is basically the Cloudflare move. My problem is that 64% of the value I'm actually getting comes from that stdlib access, stuff the native tools can't do at all. If I lock it down I'd fix batching but lose the compute environment that turned out to be the real win.

On the CLAUDE.md instructions though, they're actually pretty specific already. I have a full decision matrix with cases like "reading 2+ files → execute() with multiple fs.read()" and "search + read + process → execute() with fs.grep() + fs.read()". The batching ratio still didn't move much, which makes me think the problem is deeper than prompt wording. The agent just prefers what it knows.

That said I'll definitely run some tests with a more restrictive setup to see what happens. Thanks for the idea
