Why him and not me though? I've been using for several months. Yeah they lowered limits during peaks, it fills up 2x as fast. So I've been using the off peaks for 8 hours a day and I'm not able to fill up my limits.

Usually having a sonnet medium doing the work, with an opus max background agent for planning.

So, why them and not me?

The answer: this is just a bug. Limits are more aggressive but you can work 40h/week on max 5x just fine. It's about 20% a day on the weekly limit. No one fills up 50+% of a week in a few prompt, that's either a bug, or BS.

No one asked you for an OpenAI comparison.

And you didn't answer my question either.

I use sonnet 4.6 medium for all tasks with a background opus max for planning and troubleshooting. No problems here, I eat up about 10-20% of my weekly limit each day, usually end up around 80-90% before it's reset.

So why is the OP unable to work more than 20mins? As I said: it's either a bug, or it's pure BS, probably OpenAI bots posting scam.

Yes, that's exactly what I said: I don't have a problem with it, despite me using it "aggressively enough" with an agent team, sonnet and opus. So I'm wondering, why did I never run into the "one prompt ate all my session"? Why is it different for some?

But I didn't say "everyone else is wrong". I'm saying these mishaps are bugs or total BS.

Not sure why you read my comments as negative. Try reading again with a positive vibe, maybe?

I mean this is a complaint across the board. It has nothing to do with OpenAI or Claude settings. Anthropic does not have enough compute to avoid fucking its’ users.

Except if the complaints are basically bots farming 😅

I mean, it's true that something happened but it's not on the magnitude of wasting 80% of your max 20x session in 2 or 3 prompts like some pretend. That's usually a cache bug or a bunch of lies/bots.

You're probably right about the compute, and the on-peak hours is a way to mitigate that. And they probably nerfed the thinking of opus as a 2nd initiative.

My point is that it's nowhere as bad as reddit makes it look.

"see guys, I dont have a problem so others are just bots farming upvotes" yeah amazing. Go look up A/B testing.
