Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage

People need to understand a few things: vague questions make the models roam endlessly “exploring” dead ends. “Restarting” old chats immediately eats a lot of context. Anthropic CAN change their limits and rates as they see fit, there’s never been hard promises or SLOs on these plans.

With that said, I pay the Pro subscription (20/mo) and I hit limits maybe 2/3 times over a period of 4 months building a simple running app in Python. I’d not call it production ready but it’s not nothing either.

If people were considerably more willing to aggressively prune their context and scope tasks well, they could get a lot more done with it, at least in my experience. Anthropic can’t really fix anything because the underlying model architecture can’t be “patched”. But I definitely feel a lot of people can’t wrap their heads around the new paradigms needed to effectively prompt these models.

Additionally, opting out is always an option… but these types of issues feel more like laziness than real, structural issues with the model/harness…

Why so many 'developers' complaining about Claude rate limiting them? You know you can actually....use local LLMs? instead of donating your money to Anthropic's casino?

I guess this is fitting when the person who submitted the issue is in "AI | Crypto".

Well there's no crying at the casino when, you exhaust your usage or token limit.

The house (Anthropic) always wins.

Some months ago, I created a software for this reason, it has no success, but the thing is that communities could reduce tokens consumption, not all is LLM, you can share things from API calls between agents. Even my idea was no success I think it is a good concept share things each others, if you have some interest it's called tokenstree.com
