| Quick everyone to your side projects. We have ~3 days of un-nerfed agentic coding again. |

| 3 days of side project work is about all I had in me anyway |

| More like 2 hours considering these usage limits |

| ▲ | Unbeliever69 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I've been on 5x for a couple of months and the closest I've got to my weekly limits is 75%. I've hit 5-hr limits twice (expected). I'm a solo dev that uses CC anywhere from 8-12+ hr each day, 7 days a week. I've never experienced any of the issues others complain about other than the feeling that my sessions feel a little more rushed. I'd say that overall I have very dialed-in context management which includes: breaking work across sessions in atomic units, svelte claude.md/rules (sub 150 lines), periodic memory audit/cleanup, good pre-compact discipline, and a few great commands that I use to transfer knowledge effectively between sessions, without leaving a trailing pile of detritus. Some may say that this is exhaustive, but I don't find it much different than maintaining Agile discipline. This being said, I know I'm an outlier. | |

| ▲ | giwook 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I know limits have been nerfed, but c'mon it's $20. The fact that you were able to implement two smallish features in an iOS app in 15 minutes seems like incredible value. At $20/month your daily cost is $0.67 cents a day. Are you really complaining that you were able to get it to implement two small features in your app for 67 cents? | | |

| ▲ | user34283 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | No, I am happy with the results. For a first test, it did seem like it burned through the usage even faster than usual. GitHub Copilot’s 7.5x billing factor over 3x with Opus 4.6 seems to suggest it indeed consumes more tokens. Now I’m just waiting for OpenAI to show their hand before deciding which of the plans to upgrade from the $20 to the $100 plan. |

Full time work where you have the LLM do all the code has always required the larger plans. The $20/month plans are for occasional use as an assistant. If you want to do all of your work through the LLM you have to pay for the higher tiers. The Codex $20/month plan has higher limits, but in my experience the lower quality output leaves me rewriting more of it anyway so it's not a net win. |

| Exactly. God, it wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't gaslight you and act like it was nothing. Just put up a banner that says Claude is experiencing overloaded capacity right now, so your responses might be whatever. |
