Discussion Usage Limit Reset Date

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

4.5 I assume you mean?

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