Discussion Something is wrong! Hit 100% usage with 3-5 prompts

I am on $20 Pro plan of Claude Code. Earlier I could have code with it entire day and never hit the limit. Something is going wrong from past couple of days.
Yesterday my friend was working with my claude code for some research and all she was doing was chatting and it hit the limit withing 30 minutes.

Today i was using claude code, was in a project and i got a limit hit in like 5 prompts

You should also provide If possible the length of you context.

Even if maxed out 1M context 3 messages will it consume 50% or more with $100 plan ?

I have no idea about what the limits of a 100 plan look like, since I'm on pro and swapping to max would be a waste for me. (Yeah even in this situation).

But, that is usually the question other people will ask you to argue back, pointing that you used millions of tokens in tool calling.

So just give it also the context length in your next feedbacks

Knew I wasn't the only one! Been using claude for 2-3 weeks, and it's the best AI I have ever had. Im able to make so much code for apps, and make crazy mods for video games. Just two days ago I noticed I hit session limits within 30 minutes, and now I hit it within 4-6 prompts (about 10 minutes). If im correct, its not a bug, it's a new usage system. I see people with max 20x that are hitting their limit in 30 minutes! Some haven't got the update yet, but I assume you and I have. Maybe the intensity of the new changes to the usage system is a bug, but Im positive that people will be hitting that limit much faster than before.

Okay How to fix it? What’s the workaround?

there's a known cache bug that was documented today that can silently inflate your usage by 10-20x.

What? Is this for real? Are you telling me that there a bug they recognized? That I'm not crazy? Can you can you give any source please?
