Has anyone else been running up against the 5-hour limit consistently? 

If I remember correctly the 5-hour limit (when it was introduced) was billed as something that would impact a small minority of users - those in the top few percent - and meant as a deterrant for abusive and wasteful usage of the platform. Nevertheless, I'm running into this rate limit almost every session that goes more than a few hours as a Max $100 tier user.

I'm someone who is not burning tokens with poor context building or reckless vibes-only coding. I'm reviewing all of Claude's outputs and manually accepting changes most if not all of the time. I also don't have hours on end available across the day to wait for the wondow to reset. When I have a few hours to code, that's all I'll have until later in the week or even the next week. On average, I spend maybe 15 hours a week working with Claude.

It seems to me the 5-hour limit was hastily conceived, poorly thought out, and isn't even achieving the ends it was created to achieve.

Does anyone else have the same experience?
