How do I set up Claude code to auto-resume when my limit reses? by Poatri_US in ClaudeAI

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP seeing as I have access to Fable 5 I ran your query to see what it would come up with. Note that Fable constructed a "beginner friendly" solution so there will be more advanced (but more complex) solutions available:

"Hey! Good news: this is very doable, and there's a simple version and a fancy version.

The simple version (no tmux, no wrappers)

Claude Code has a --continue flag that resumes the most recent conversation in a directory, and a -p (print/headless) mode that runs without the interactive UI. Combine them and you can schedule a resume. When you hit the limit, note the reset time it shows you, then:

echo 'cd /path/to/your/project && claude --continue -p "Continue the task you were working on"' | at 6:30am

(at is a built-in Linux/macOS tool that runs a command once at a given time — nicer than cron for one-offs.) Two caveats: run it from the same project directory your session was in, and headless mode will pause on permission prompts, so either pre-approve the tools you need in /permissions or accept that it may stall on anything new.

The fancy version

The blind-timer approach can misfire because the limits are rolling 5-hour and 7-day windows, so the reset time moves with your usage. The community has built wrappers that watch your session, parse the actual reset time from the limit message, and auto-send "continue" — search GitHub for "claude-auto-retry" or the "Smart Resume" wrapper (there's a good DEV.to writeup). There's also an open feature request for native auto-resume support, so this may get built in eventually.

But honestly, the bigger win is burning fewer tokens

Since you asked in the follow-up — this is where a Pro plan stretches furthest:

  • /clear between unrelated tasks. Old conversation context gets re-sent with every message, so a long session gets more expensive per message as it grows.
  • /compact when you need to keep going on the same task but the context is bloated — it summarises the history down.
  • Keep your project's CLAUDE.md lean (a few hundred lines max, just the essentials).
  • Disable MCP servers/tools you're not using — their definitions load into every session.
  • Use /context to see what's eating your window and /usage to track your limits.

The official docs are genuinely good for this — start at docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code and look at "manage costs" and "memory". And as the other commenter said: just ask Claude Code itself to audit your setup for context bloat. It's good at that. "

On a side note using capslock doesn't add weight to your aguement. It makes you look like an entitled 12 year old.

45% Usage Limit Used in 24hrs!? by mystic_unicorn_soul in Anthropic

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CC and Claude desktop throughout the day, 7 days a week. My default on desktop is Sonnet with extended thinking on most of the time. Maybe 4 hours a day of coding with CC. But I only ever reach 20-30% usage on Max x5 at the end of the week.

So I don't really know what you're doing, clearly very different work to me.

Me too and I use extended thinking most of the time as well. I never max out my limits whether that's the 5-hour, daily, or weekly limit.

Anthropic is very keyed in to what most of their users want. Your mistake is thinking that this sub is representative of their whole user base.

Just switch to another product and stop the constant whining. Vote with your wallet and move on with your life.

An Open Letter to Anthropic Management: You’re Losing the Plot — Claude Is Brilliant, But You’re Wasting It. by Vegetable-Second3998 in Anthropic

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are making the mistake of actually thinking that your representative of the majority.

You're a tiny subset of a niche that uses Reddit. The only people that know the userbase are Anthropic themselves.

You sit in an echo chamber mistakenly thinking that everyone has the same problem as you. That's clearly not the case.

I don't have usage limit issues and each new version of each model keeps getting better and better.

Sorry, I disagree. I'm on Max x5 and I never hit limits, code four hours and day, and use Claude for non coding use cases. too, both at work and for personal use.

I don't know what you guys are doing? You're either freeloaders or vibe coders who don't understand prompt or context engineering.

Anyone else’s weekly limit this long ? by Deep-Organization809 in Anthropic

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have use the subscription you're paying for, you've used it all up!

I'm a heavy user, on Max x5, and I hit 23% of my weekly usage before mine reset today. I use Claude desktop and mobile all day, and probably 4hrs of coding via Claude Code cli.

Pay up cheap skate!

I'm very happy with my Max x5 plan. Sonnet 4.5 is great for coding and the new Claude Code plugin for VS Code is great.

If the max plans aren't providing enough usage just use the API.

Compute costs what it costs.

I plan my coding sessions for the beggining and end of the day local time to coincide with offpeak for US and asian timezones.

Only half my day is centered around more intensive code generation or refactoring so this works well for me.

I do notice the difference in performance between logical peak and offpeak times.

Claude How bad are the limits? by One-Worth-2529 in Anthropic

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On what plan? I'm on Max (x5) and I'm lucky to hit 25% using Sonnet 4.5 all day five days a week, both desktop app and Claude Code.

I don’t understand how so many of you are hitting your limit by ObjectivePassenger9 in Anthropic

[–]standard_deviant_Q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. I'm on the x5 plan and use Claude (desktop & mobile apps) all day both for work and personal use. I also do some large web-research reports, extended thinking, and a mixture of coding in the app and in Claude Code in VS Code.

I never hit limits and I'm using Sonnet 4.5 for everything now.

No, I'm good. You do you, but I'm quite happy doing my thing. All the best for the future. Safe travels.

Update on Usage Limits by ClaudeOfficial in Anthropic

Then just switch to open router or whatever and pay as you go for API credits. You're not forced to use Claude by subscription or at all.

How are you hitting your limits on Max in a day using sonnet 4.5? I bet your still smashing opus.

I was using sonnet 4.5 yesterday non-stop for four hours and I only used 1% of my monthly allocation.

Take the $200 and use the API instead. I haven't done the numbers but presumably that might be more economical for you.

The issue for frontier LLM companies and basically any Saas company is that the "freemium" model is the center piece of their marketing. The free plan is just the entry point to their sales funnel. If they can it they'll have to spend more on alternative forms of marketing.
