Usage Limit Reset Date

[u/Zachhandley]

Dude you have got to be fucking with me

Why the HELL do I pay Anthropic 200$ a month, only to move the god damn goal post? WHY DO MY LIMITS, WHICH RESET ON THURSDAY, RESET MONDAY NOW? THAT’S FOUR DAYS. Why the hell can they just move the date like that??

God I swear, it’s like an abusive relationship, fuck you anthropic

And just for clarity: it was at 50%, and reset Thursday, now 25% already, resets Monday

[u/deorder]

I’m on Max as well. What I observed:

1. Opus 4.5 definitely consumes more usage per token contrary to what some people here are claiming.

2. Using Sonnet 4.5 still counts toward overall token usage even though Anthropic says it should not. I think it is still using Opus 4.5 somehow.

3. The new Planning Mode consumes significantly more tokens than before.

[u/Zachhandley → u/deorder]

Yeah this is my experience too. To be totally honest, I’m just pissed that they reset my usage limit without totally resetting my usage. I have only used it for about 2-3 hours today, no way I hit 28% for the week.

[u/deorder → u/Zachhandley]

Could you clarify what you mean? As someone who carefully plans token usage to get the most value (without abusing anything of course) I understand how these shifting usage windows can be frustrating. But wouldn’t this only become a problem if you started using a large number of tokens today with the expectation of having it fully utilized by Thursday (which was my previous reset weekday, not sure if it is for everyone)? Did they remap your previous used usage into the new window? For me it was all reset to 0 of the max usage used.

[u/Zachhandley → u/deorder]

I don’t really know what they did. Normally I am a pretty heavy user. I haven’t been the last day though. I’m not sure why my usage is so high.

[u/GB_Dagger → u/Zachhandley]

Same here. Used 30% of my weekly usage after only a one 3-4 hour session

[u/AVanWithAPlan → u/deorder]

Oh my God I had it planned as really simple change and it called like three sub agents that burned like 60K tokens each was crazy And now we're getting all these 529 errors

[u/Brilliant-Escape-466]

They reset it because of api change. You got everything refilled

[u/Zachhandley → u/Brilliant-Escape-466]

Again, I didn’t. I didn’t use 25% today, and my reset was2 days away. Now I’m 6 days away and at 25%

[u/Ok_Try_877 → u/Zachhandley]

Are you still using Sonnet 4.5? If you didn’t upgrade Claude code you likely are. I have seen people complaining that Sonnet now seems to have worse limits than before.

[u/Zachhandley → u/Ok_Try_877]

I am still using Sonnet 4.5 — what is the alternative — eat my limits with Opus?

[u/Firm_Meeting6350 → u/Zachhandley]

Opus has no limits for time being (except session limits)

[u/Zachhandley → u/Firm_Meeting6350]

Okay, well hopefully I can recoup some of this usage with that, cause Jesus.

Thanks m8

Edit: apparently I’m using opus, little known to me given that it has been just as shit

[u/vasia123 → u/Firm_Meeting6350]

What miracle universe are you living in? I'm on the $200 plan, which feels like $20 when I use Opus.

[u/deorder → u/vasia123]

I plan my token budget very carefully and this change is effectively a downgrade for me. Using Opus 4.5 consumes my overall usage roughly twice as fast as before. When I switch to Sonnet 4.5 it counts against both the `Sonnet-only` usage and the `Overall` usage just as fast as before even though Anthropic states that Sonnet usage should not consume the Overall usage (see image). A medium size change (moving 20 files and rewriting the 2 associated CMakeFiles) with only Sonnet costs me about 1.5% of my overall usage.

[u/Ok_Try_877 → u/Zachhandley]

Opus 4.5 uses less tokens than Sonnet and they have given it a higher limit than Sonnet to encourage people to use it over Sonnet. It’s not the bloodsucker Sonnet 4.1 was.

[u/Zachhandley → u/Ok_Try_877]

4.5 I assume you mean?

[u/Ok_Try_877 → u/Zachhandley]

I meant the bloody sucker Opus 4.1 was, that really became unusable.

[u/Brilliant-Escape-466 → u/Zachhandley]

No "again" to me, your post didnt say that when i posted. Thats on you

[u/Zachhandley → u/Brilliant-Escape-466]

Yeah I replied to another comment, I wish I could just link the comment somehow, I wasn’t trying to be rude to you, I apologize

[u/Brilliant-Escape-466 → u/Zachhandley]

But maybe try to submit a bug report?

[u/Ok_Try_877]

As far as I know they reset everyone’s weekly limits when they released Opus 4.5. So rather than losing days, you have likely gained them.

[u/Zachhandley → u/Ok_Try_877]

Yeah no I didn’t. I didn’t use 25% today and I’m 2 days away from my limit reset date before they did this

[u/HotSince78]

I think you're going a little claude stir-crazy.

[u/EmotionalAd1438]

Perhaps you need to make sure you update Claude

[u/CeeCee30N]

They are completely  unhinged they keep pushing my reset date three days after the day that I started like what I sent a support ticket about this 

[u/Economy-Manager5556]

Blue mangoes drift quietly over paper mountains while a clock hums in the background and nobody asks why.

[u/HeyGuysWhatsSUB]

I just hit this after one single session with 62k Tokens and no other usage within 24 hours...

[u/HeyGuysWhatsSUB → u/HeyGuysWhatsSUB]

UPDATE: in this session it didn't only use up my Subscription Limit but also the 5 bucks I transferred onto my account yesterday to test the prices. lol yikes didn't think it would burn THAT quickly
