| Anthropic has been flying by the seat of their pants for a while now and it shows across the board. From the terminal flashing bug that’s been around for months to the lack of support to instabilities in Claude mobile and Code for the web (I get 10-20% message failure rates on the former and 5-10% on CC for web). They’re growing too fast and it’s bursting the seams of the company. If there’s ever a correction in the AI industry, I think that will all quickly come back to bite them. It’s like Claude Code is vibe-operating the entire company. |

| The Pro plan quota seems to be getting worse. I can get maybe 20-30 minutes work done before I hit my 4 hour quota. I found myself using it more just for the planning phase to get a little bit more time out of it, but yesterday I managed to ask it ONE question in plan mode (from a fresh quota window), and while it was thinking it ran out of quota. I'm assuming it probably pulled in a ton of references from my project automatically and blew out the token count. I find I get good answers from it when it does work, but it's getting very annoying to use. (on the flip side, Codex seems like it's being SO efficient with the tokens it can be hard to understand its answers sometimes, it rarely includes files without you doing it manually, and often takes quite a few attempts to get the right answer because it's so strict what it's doing each iteration. But I never run out of quota!) |

| ▲ | aanet 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | ^ THIS I've run out of quota on my Pro plan so many times in the past 2-3 weeks. This seems to be a recent occurrence. And I'm not even that active. Just one project, execute in Plan > Develop > Test mode, just one terminal. That's it. I keep getting a quota reset every few hours. What's happening @Anthropic ?? Anybody here who can answer?? | | |
| ▲ | bmurphy1976 5 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I've been hitting the limit a lot lately as well. The worst part is I try to compact things and check my limits using the / commands and can't make heads or tails how much I actually have left. It's not clear at all. I've been using CC until I run out of credits and then switch to Cursor (my employer pays for both). I prefer Claude but I never hit any limits in Cursor. | |
| ▲ | vbezhenar 26 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | This whole API vs plan looks weird to me. Why not force everyone to use API? You pay for what you use, it's very simple. API should be the most honest way to monetize, right? This fixed subscription plan with some hardly specified quotas looks like they want to extract extra money from these users who pay $200 and don't use that value, at the same time preventing other users from going over $200. Like I understand that it might work at scale, but just feels a bit not fair to everyone? | |
| ▲ | genewitch 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | sounds like the "thinking tokens" are a mechanism to extract more money from users? | | |
| ▲ | vunderba an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Anecdotally but it definitely feels like in the last couple weeks CC tends to be more aggressive at pulling in significantly larger chunks of an existing code base - even for some simple queries I'll see it easily ramp up to 50-60k token usage. | | |
| ▲ | genewitch an hour ago | parent [-] | | I'm curious if anyone has logged the number of thinking tokens over time. My implication was the "thinking/reasoning" modes are a way for LLM providers to put their thumb on the scale for how much the service costs. they get to see (if not opted-out) your context, idea, source code, etc. and in return you give them $220 and they give you back "out of tokens" | | |
| ▲ | throwup238 24 minutes ago | parent [-] | | > My implication was the "thinking/reasoning" modes are a way for LLM providers to put their thumb on the scale for how much the service costs. It's also a way to improve performance on the things their customers care about. I'm not paying Anthropic more than I do for car insurance every month because I want to pinch ~~pennies~~ tokens, I do it because I can finally offload a ton of tedious work on Opus 4.5 without hand holding it and reviewing every line. The subscription is already such a great value over paying by the token, they've got plenty of space to find the right balance. |

| ▲ | fragmede an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | How quickly do you also hit compaction when running? Also, if you open a new CC instance and run /context, what does it show for tools/memories/skills %age? And that's before we look at what you're actually doing. CC will add context to each prompt it thinks is necessary. So if you've got a few number of large files, (vs a large number of smaller files), at some level that'll contribute to the problem as well. Quota's basically a count of tokens, so if a new CC session starts with that relatively full, that could explain what's going on. Also, what language is this project in? If it's something noisy that uses up many tokens fast, even if you're using agents to preserve the context window in the main CC, those tokens still count against your quota so you'd still be hitting it awkwardly fast. |

| ▲ | stareatgoats 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Claude Code allegedly auto-includes the currently active file and often all visible tabs and sometimes neighboring files it thinks are 'related' - on every prompt. The advice I got when scouring the internets was primarily to close everything except the file you’re editing and maybe one reference file (before asking Claude anything). For added effect add something like 'Only use the currently open file. Do not read or reference any other files' to the prompt. I don't have any hard facts to back this up, but I'm sure going to try it myself tomorrow (when my weekly cap is lifted ...). |

| You are giving me images from The Bug Short where the guy goes to investigate mortgages and knocks on some random person’s door to ask about a house/mortgage just to learn that it belongs to a dog. Imagine finding out that Anthropic employs no humans at all. Just an AI that has fired everyone and been working on its own releases and press releases since. |

| They whistleblowed themselves that Claude Cowork was coded by Claude Code… :) |
| |
| ▲ | throwup238 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You can tell they’re all vibe coded. Claude iOS app, Claude on the web (including Claude Code on the web) and Claude Code are some of the buggiest tools I have ever had to use on a daily basis. I’m including monstrosities like Altium and Solidworks and Vivado in the mix - software that actually does real shit constrained by the laws of physics rather than slinging basic JSON and strings around over HTTP. It’s an utter embarrassment to the field of software engineering that they can’t even beat a single nine of reliability in their consumer facing products and if it wasn’t for the advantage Opus has over other models, they’d be dead in the water. | | |
| ▲ | loopdoend an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Single nine reliability would be 90% uptime lol. For 99.9% we call it triple 9 reliability. | | |
| ▲ | throwup238 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Single 9 would be 90%, which is roughly what I’m experiencing between CC for Web and the Claude iOS app. About 1 in 10 messages fail because of an unknown error and 1 in 10 CC for web sessions die irrecoverably. It’d probably be worse except for the fact that CC’s bugs in the terminal aren’t show stoppers like they are on web/mobile. The only way Anthropic has two or three nines is in read only mode, but that’s be like measuring AWS using the console uptime while ignoring the actual control plane. |

| ▲ | cactusplant7374 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You're right. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues Codex has less but they also had quite a few outages in December. And I don't think Codex is as popular as Claude Code but that could change. |
