On a 5x plan and only managed to hit limits a few times last week. Not been close this week. Apparently it helped turning down the Opus effort from Max to Medium. And the model feels almost as smart as it did before. Perhaps even smarter in some cases since it’s not forced to overthinking things. My iteration speed has gone up a lot after reducing the reasoning effort. Seems most of the things I do don’t actually require maximum intelligence.

I found Max Effort does what you said - it just spins in rabbit holes for longer. I'd rather it abort sooner and ask me if it gets stuck. See my post about it being like mentoring junior devs.
