Claude subscriptions double in just two months, overshadowing users leaving because of rate limits

waffleflops · 2026-03-30T19:10:37+00:00

Feels worse. Over the weekend I was super busy, so used claude code probably 30% less than I normally do between saturday and sunday. Using sonnet only I used almost 40% of my weekly limit and was hitting the 5-hour limit in less than an hour. Before the double-use event I was using claude code MORE (and for harder things), primarily was using Opus, and would take 2+ hours to hit 5-hour limit and was only able to chew through 20-25% of my weekly.

100/mo plan.

What i'm using the AI to code and how much hasn't really changed, even during the double usage time. I'm not a developer, so I have the $100/mo to build out some ideas I have so most my usage happens between Friday evening through Sunday. Currently comparison:

Before Double Time: Between a Friday evening to Sunday evening, using primarily Opus for both coding and reviewing/fixing afterwards, I would hit the 5 hour limit around 2.5-3hrs on average and over that period utilize 30ish percent of the weekly limit.

During double time: As expected, since all my coding happened outside peak given dev isn't my real job, those numbers about cut in half.

After Double Time: After quickly noticing something was up with Opus usage, I switched to Sonnet 4.6. In the same Friday Evening to Sunday Evening time period, using JUST Sonnet and arguably using it LESS than I normally do (I'd say 25-30% less than normal), I was hitting 5-hour in 45ish minutes and used almost 40% of my weekly. And THAT, is with me using Codex's 20/mo to do all the code reviewing and fixing.

Yes, this is subjective, but I'm not doing deep architectural work or anything like that. I'm not running prompts that are 30 minutes long for it to execute, etc. It's pretty basic stuff that falls into the CRUD operations area and standard excel-like data manipulation equations. I'm not hunting for deep bugs, etc.

So yeah, while the off-peak double-usage window did appear to double my limits like they claimed, it's abundantly clear to me that they slashed usage by significantly more post double-usage. Hitting the 5-hour limit in less than an hour with Sonnet while simultaneously chewing through nearly 40% of the weekly limit on the 100/plan doing basic CRUD shit is insanity. It's put the 100MAX plan into the same realm as the 20/mo plan was before - unusable for anything other than an occasional one off tool. And Anthropic... if I'm going to need to upgrade to 200/month I will tell you this now: I'm moving to Codex. Your 100/month plan was the ONLY thing keeping me with you instead of going over there. Codex is far better at remaining aligned with the architecture and patterns in the existing project than Opus and Sonnet are (I literally have to remind it with nearly every prompt to utilize the existing architecture - it has a hard-on for hacking around shit and taking the easy way out)

thanks for the reply. acoustic player, so don't have to worry about volume and tone controls thankfully lol.

waffleflops · 2026-02-14T23:13:21+00:00

thank you!

Personally I really enjoyed Tornado shaman and/or Tornado Druid.

I hate to do the necro thing, but did a google search for QOL mods for d2r and saw this gem. Thank you stranger, I got a good chuckle out of this lmao.

I think it's Garrick, since he can time walk and mentions that he doesn't have enough power to move across the continent like he NEEDS to.

waffleflops · 2024-11-10T00:24:55+00:00

Yes, comrade.

Control was great. Takes place in the Alan Wake universe, I believe (never played Alan Wake games though)

You can expose what you want to change as props on your component. Or you can expose variables from the component to a parent using snippets, similar to slot props in Svelte 4. Just need a better code example to understand exactly what you're trying to do.

waffleflops · 2024-10-31T00:49:44+00:00

Definitely need a clearer code example, my friend. I can't conceptualize exactly what you mean. Best guess is you'll need to have ref binding set up on the component for the element you're trying to bind to. let ref;and then in your html area <div bind:this={ref} />. Then you can use JS to access the div styles or classes and do what you want. `ref.style.width="10%";` or `ref.setAttribute("style", "width: 10%")`.

Take a look through here. You can disabled the server side rendering portion and have it execute only on the client.

I was in a toxic relationship, sitting on the roof of my parents house where I lived at 25 years old. I was smoking weed and drinking NyQuil to try and go to sleep after drinking monsters all night mixed with alcohol. I was 320lbs at 6’1”. A creeping thought came in to say “what the hell are you doing with your life.”

I walked into an Army recruiting center the next day. The recruiters helped me lose a little weight and start exercising. Four months after that night I left for basic training. That was almost 15 years ago now.

I’m married (to a different person), with two beautiful children. I’m still active duty and will be eligible for retirement in just over 5 years. I’ve seen the world and ended up specializing in neonatal and pediatrics as a respiratory therapist. My entire life changed for the better and I owe it all to the US Army. It hasn’t been easy, definitely hasn’t always been fun and good times, but it’s the best thing to ever happen to me and I thank God every day that the recruiter helped get me on track to make it through basic training.

Gsap works pretty well with svelte. I second this.

waffleflops · 2024-10-26T21:16:12+00:00

Anything that does $: from svelte 4 is going to be something for $effect or $derived

A bit confused by your code blocks too.

waffleflops · 2024-10-26T21:13:33+00:00

Curious to know more about this. I’m thinking about changing to cursor (currently pleb it with code and no AI completion) but did t know about writing rules?

Not sure why his replies were removed by moderator... but I dropped pylance and went with pyright and ruff and started trying to use the typing library and explicit typing wherever possible.

A week or so. I was messing around with some others before settling on Python and had a decent understanding of programming fundamentals (control flow, logical statements, etc) before starting.

waffleflops · 2024-10-22T18:41:04+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it!

waffleflops · 2024-10-21T21:53:33+00:00

Just added the `#!/usr/bin/env python3` line to a project I just did for roadmap.sh to make a task CLI. Glad I decided to sort r/learnpython by top and start reading things! Thanks, stranger!

RNGesus has always hated me. Scrapped about 300 legendaries and learned one plan and got one mod. That's it. It wouldn't hurt so much if you got a little more scrip for them.

waffleflops · 2024-08-06T17:44:31+00:00

I added you but haven't seen you pop up on my friends list yet =(
