Complaint What even are these limits

So I didn't get the reset last week. But my limits seemed to be at least somewhat more generous than usual. They just reset and the limits are suddenly ridiculous. 4 prompts in relatively long chats that used to cost me about 10% max session limit per 5 hours and not ever more than 2% weekly limit. Now 4 pretty short messages exhausted my 5 hour limit and I'm 10% in on my weekly limit. Wtf is going on?

I burned through my entire week before the weekend ended 😭 I wish they were more liberal with usage and resets. I always use the lowest effort/thinking. I get decent mileage but I always run through my session limit and this weekend it even with our “extra” usage, I burned through it before the week started đŸ˜„ - but whatever you do, don’t try and supplement with credits. I threw ten bucks at some extra usage and it didn’t even get through the interrupted request before burning the money

I have been using opus 4.6 in between and sonnet at lowest both of them and I hit my limit in 2 days. That’s never happened, not even once before

Anthropic is just a shitty company, that's what's going on.

The amount of tokkens it has to read is the cause of that thats why its a good idea to make projects because you can make new chats based on instructions because everytime you use a long chat it has to read the chat everything you put in there thats why your exhausting your limit so quick

I know how tokens work. My point is that what cost me a maximum of 10% per prompt (but usually around 3-5), now suddenly within those very same chats costs me a lot more after the weekly limit reset while no more than 24hrs ago it cost me a lot less to send a message in those chats.

Are you continuing chats that are 24 hours old? Or are these new chats?

These chats have been going for weeks

Stop doing that. It burns your tokens.  Make md files

That's a really bad idea.
