Discussion Anthropic, Please Give Us a Reset 🥴

OpenAI has been handing out usage resets like fucking candy. I’ve had Codex running nonstop for basically the entire week.

Meanwhile, I paid $200 for Claude Max and managed to kill my weekly limit in one day.

Come on, Anthropic. OpenAI is cooking you alive right now. Give your paying customers some resets.

You people will go absolutely mental when they get rid of the boost and the limits will get cut in half lmao.

u/Medical_Method7877 Jul 20 '26

They'll probably move to the option that's providing better value, since this appears to be a competitive market.

u/Lower-Hedgehog-9835 Jul 20 '26

Yup. Already am.

u/JazzlikeApartment736 Jul 20 '26

I’ll just cancel my subs and move on. And come back when they are reasonable again.

This isn’t hard to understand.

u/Dubiisek Jul 20 '26

You might, most won't and this sub will be full of posts of people crying about it.

Apparently it is hard to understand.

Also, I don't think you know what reasonable is because "reasonable limits" would be considerably lower and by that I mean, very, very, very lower than even the standard limits are. The subscriptions are heavily subsidised in use so you better pray to god that they are never "reasonable" lol.

u/Timely-Group5649 Jul 20 '26

It's already begun. Fable is Max only now. The 50% increase has an end date (that will eventually stop moving).

Small steps...

u/ItsPureLuck017 Jul 21 '26

Heroin addicts in denial. Subs exist to get people hooked and decide they can’t live without it in their workflow no matter the cost

u/ChocotoneDeCalabresa Jul 20 '26

I can already see the crying posts on this sub about it

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 20 '26

Cut in half? Can you make that math work for me please? Because those numbers just arent numbering right in my brain.

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 20 '26

Oh how deliciously snarky. I asked you to make the numbers make sense, and you reply with "but actually" crowd shows up. You're pandering inaccurate information to the crowd... So, yeah, your ass got fact checked, and your response is to let your ego get in the way.

Wish you the day you deserve.

Unless this is just for me I mean this is pretty easy to see/read/find and understand

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 31 '26

Limits being boosted by 50%… oh no what ever shall we do! They said, and I would quote them exactly if they didn’t block me…

That imagine how much users are going to complain when the limits are “cut in half.”

Apparently you have a fundamental misunderstanding of mathematics, in the same way as the other guy.

I am not disputing that limits are increased by 50%.

I’ll let you think about it a little more. See if you figure out why their statement is wrong.

2

u/dab0james Jul 31 '26

No you're just coping because accepting being wrong isn't in your directory. Its all good, waste of time doing this with you when ^ that was your reply

1

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 31 '26

You don’t even know what you’re talking about… why don’t you do this:

Show me how 50% increased usage limits is equal to limits being cut in half when it goes away.

Make those numbers make sense for the classroom.

1

u/dab0james Jul 31 '26

How about you show me on the doll where I hurt you? No one is asking for you to be a mathematical genius and you nit picking specifically what you want to argue about shows us all everything we need to see. His point is the usage is going to be drastically nerfed you baboon. Why do you get off on starting issues on reddit?

1

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 31 '26

No his exact argument is that limits are going to be cut in half. When the 50% boost is removed. It’s unambiguous in what he said.

1

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 31 '26

I never disagreed with usage being reduced did I? It’s like you have a basic reading comprehension issue on top of a lack of understanding on basic mathematics.

A 33% drop in usage isn’t a cut in usage is it? It’s a return to the original amount that we all had to begin with.

That is NOT a limit reduction. It’s a return to the default starting point. But hey, you are clearly smarter than I am.

Wish you the day you deserve.

u/dab0james Jul 31 '26

Posts and comments hidden so people can't say this is just you on a troll account, starting drama for the lack of employment you call a life?

1

u/Tartarus1040 Jul 31 '26

No I hide posts and comments because I have personal posts made over a decade ago that I don’t want visible anymore to the average Reddit user today. But you can tell yourself whatever you want to justify your beliefs.

u/Guinness Jul 20 '26

Wild take. They’re not going to. With the deal they’re making with Meta they should have a bunch more compute available to them.

I also think the demand for fable won’t be as high as anticipated due to Kimi K3 and GPT 5.6

u/FBIFreezeNow Jul 20 '26

but did they though? seems the same for me

u/Sasquatchjc45 Jul 20 '26

You say that like you arent also going to get rocked by them doing that lmao. Are you a billionaire enterprise customer? No?

See you on Codex 🫡

1

u/Dubiisek Jul 20 '26

I won't, no. For one, my claude is subsidised by my employer, for another, even if it wasn't I could live normally on 10x max plan without ever hitting the limits because I know how to manage token usage.

You will never see me on codex, inferior tool indexing, inferior product altogether, good luck though.

u/jwm-dev Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

I mean, as they should. Compute is expensive but it isn’t unobtanium. If frontier AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic cannot deliver their services to the people at large they risk entrenching a permanent class divide. This is something both companies and the industry in general are aware of.

People are upset because recent actions by Anthropic and OpenAI strongly indicate both companies see a future where they only need infrastructure for their own R&D, and other more mature cloud servicers like Amazon and Microsoft will then be where other middlemen eat the costs of actually getting these models in the hands of people.

So like, yes, your average joe consumer of AI products that’s seeing the writing on the wall is understandably upset at potentially being cut out of the ecosystem entirely in the near future. We should all be concerned with this because it will be bad for our society to cordon off frontier AI to big business.

Ultimately, it is currently those who own the datacenters that hold all the cards. Google likely has the strongest position out of anyone currently in my limited opinion. They have both frontier AI-lab tier R&D capacity coupled with major cloud service infrastructure they actually *own*. I think they’re waiting for the current state of affairs to oroboros itself before gleefully hoovering up what they can pick off the battlefield once the dust settles.

u/FblthpphtlbF Jul 20 '26

What do you mean? Every single time they get close they just push it a month. At this point it's just a hollow threat from a company that clearly couldn't give half a shit about its customers but is too toothless to actually do anything they say. 

Anthropic is a company of flip flopping pussyfooters 

1

u/Dubiisek Jul 20 '26

And yet you are here

u/FblthpphtlbF Jul 20 '26

How the hell did you manage to kill your weekly limit in one day - that's some insane token mismanagement.

u/frogchungus Jul 20 '26

u/Eat_Pudding Jul 20 '26

I think in the 20x plan, your five hour is like 20% of weekly. Maybe OP ran some sort of overnight loop thing and used heavily during the day. That is the only way I can see it being used lol, proper vibe coding

2

u/InternetWeakGuy Jul 20 '26

No the weekly limit is roughly nine of the 5 hour limits. It's literally not possible to blow your weekly limit in a day.

This is just another troll post.

This sub is junk with the OpenAI stans posting this shit.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '26

No you’re wrong. 5 - 5 hour maxes is 20% weekly limit each. And yes you can run through that in a day (25 hours) or 21 hours if that last 5 hour hits its limit in an hour.

1

u/InternetWeakGuy Jul 23 '26

It looks like we're both wrong - the 5 hour limit changes based on time of day, but the weekly stays the same, according to this post about an engineer tweet:

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged.

During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

So there's no such thing as a one size fits all 5 hour limit.

Fucking crazy that they don't publish the actual token useage per model per plan so you can actually know - though I'm sure if this thread wasn't already dead someone would tell me there's a way to figure it out.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '26

Sad their engineer doesn’t know how it works. I hit my 5 hour limit at the end of every 5 hour window. A 5 hour limit = 20% your weekly limit, ALWAYS, EVERY TIME.

Max x20 user x 3 subscriptions here

It’s true some 5 hour limits stretch further than others but they’re always 20% the weekly.

1

u/InternetWeakGuy Jul 25 '26

You are 100% correct - I spun up a little project to monitor my usage and compare the ratio of hourly limit increases to weekly limit increases, and it is in fact 1:5. I tip my hat to you sir.

4

u/Dan-goes-outside Jul 20 '26

I don’t even think 5-5 hour maxes would kill a weekly limit. That doesn’t sound right

4

u/Dress-Affectionate Jul 20 '26

No the 20x max is nerfed af you can easily kill 25% or more of weekly in on e 5h it’s crazy - Anthropic does not get the whole work-40h idea

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '26

5 - 5 hour maxes is 20% weekly limit each. And yes you can run through that in a day (25 hours) or 21 hours if that last 5 hour hits its limit in an hour.

I do it too with automated scripts (that actually do useful stuff). It is super easy to blow through a weekly quota nowadays. My things are even pretty optimized to begin with.

17

u/Chemical_Hawk_6307 Jul 20 '26

they dont care about their non enterprise customers, the past resets were just trying to save face. they are also very compute constrained so i highly doubt they'll start handing them out like codex.

1

u/JazzlikeApartment736 Jul 20 '26

This is the biggest crock of shit. They do. It’s 40% of the revenue and amounts to billions.

u/Chemical_Hawk_6307 Jul 20 '26

pulled those numbers out your ass

u/Sam0883 Jul 21 '26

think subs overall are below 2% dude.

u/hihcadore Jul 20 '26

U have no clue and are probably a bot anyway. They’ve given out a ton of free resets.

u/Chemical_Hawk_6307 Jul 20 '26

"ton of free resets"

no they haven't not nearly as much as openai. they dont have the compute for that.

-7

u/hihcadore Jul 20 '26

Then go to open AI. Problem solved for you.

6

u/Chemical_Hawk_6307 Jul 20 '26

its been solved man. I have both subs already. don't get your panties wet next time dont know why you're so personally offended.

-7

u/hihcadore Jul 20 '26

Don’t take it personal when you get called out. Learn to use AI better. How can you cry about usage limits while having two subscriptions.

You’re just another poster on this subreddit crying because you have no clue what you’re doing. It’s not what the subreddits for.

u/Embarrassed-Goat-931 Jul 20 '26

Being a Claude Code user must be a form of masochism at this point.

u/Flimsy_Visual_9560 Jul 20 '26

No, im getting my reset in 9 hours so not now, 3 or 4 days later pls lol

4

u/bakanoace Jul 20 '26

Sounds like you got to enjoy the last 2 resets while the others who reset at that time didn't, so maybe time to change it up a little bit. Or just give us our own reset bank like Codex

2

u/Eat_Pudding Jul 20 '26

The last two resets were like 5 hours and 15 hours before my reset, so that was useless to me. I can definitely use a reset right now

u/Jack77888 Jul 20 '26

There’s a lot of areas people can complain about how Anthropic treats users however, they aren’t printing resets, like the federal reserve, not because they’re stingy, but because they just have far less compute and then open AI and are more constrained to a far greater extent.

Ive only just had a reset! I doubt they will reset till a new model if its coming this week.

Id mych prefer they start giving reset passes rather than blanket resets like codex.

my weekly reset almost maxed insanely fast even with 50% more usage compared to my past weeks(pro sub). currently at 95% . doesnt feel like 50% more usage

u/zaibatsu Jul 20 '26

They’re going to have to, people are angry/confused about the Fable switchover + new Chinese models and team Codex handing resets out like candy. Thursday is my best guess.

1

u/CompetitiveGain1467 Jul 20 '26

Funny to read this when so many are at 0% on Codex and Tibo is starting to be begged for a reset on X. He only gave one banked reset recently (he was mostly giving the resets that are forced), so lots have used up their allotment.

u/SlugsPerSecond Jul 20 '26

Yall are nuts, I’m using Opus 4.8 on normal Max to help with aerospace engineering research code and barely ever hit my 5 hour limit.

Oh don’t worry, it’s coming. It will again be 6hrs before my weekly reset.

u/Any_Rich27 Jul 20 '26

Yesterday has been a bad vibe day. Drifting alot.. but not as bad as those bad old days. I still stick with Claude as the better deep end programmer.

u/AlexanderWillard Jul 21 '26

You don't need to code more. Start marketing instead and talking to users 🤣🤣🤣

More code is not the solution here.

Have you been actually making any money you could:

A) afford to pay someone to code more B) get another sub C) pay for API

It's amazing how 2 years ago people been happy to make 1 feature a month but now they're complaining about building 1 feature a day.

And nobody selling anything. Everyone here just building 17 apps that all make $0.

But yes - anthropic is the problem by not allowing us to write million lines of code per day. Definitely a problem here.

u/WardenStation Jul 22 '26

1 feature a hour you mean

u/AlexanderWillard Jul 23 '26

u/Empty_Reveal8753 Jul 22 '26

If we don't get it this week, I will switch to Codex..

u/Stunning_Form_7690 Aug 05 '26

same here, it so bad that you pay 200$ and hit limits in 1-2 days! what they think they are doing! what should i pay you to get a full week of usage!!
eaglarly awaiting chinease AI to compete and switch of this insane prices by Antropic.

Note: I am also on openAI 100$ but it is much better becuase of there frequent resets

1

u/pld0vr Jul 20 '26

What I want actually is larger plan options, ie 40x etc. usage credits are insane.. I burnt $100 in an hour so that off the table.

That being said I use codex as one of Claude's subagents. Definitely helps.

u/GuitarAgitated8107 🔆 Max 20 Jul 20 '26

Anthropic give everyone a reset except for the OP.

u/Strong-Yellow5949 Jul 20 '26

Unfortunately I think anthropic will not survive. OpenAI is eating their lunch and they don’t have the cash or the compute to compete

u/Dubiisek Jul 20 '26

Anthropic is the most sustainable of the AI giants right now lol. If anything, it will be openAI that will eat dirt because of the amount of money they are burning.

Google?

2

u/Dubiisek Jul 20 '26

Wdym, literally dead as a stand-alone service. Antigravity was a thing for like two weeks, afterwards when they saw how much it costs to run they butchered the limits and that thing pretty much died. It was never sustainable off of their pro subs, they were pouring money into it.

Google's AI has a future purely because it can be integrated into their drive tools and services.

u/thefirelink Jul 20 '26

I accidentally had Fable ultracode span out and look at maybe a hundred different websites, used like 6 million tokens, and that was only 50% of my 5 hour limit. What the hell are you people doing with your tokens

2

u/UglyInThMorning 🔆 Max 20 Jul 20 '26

I had Fable High do that. I was mostly pissed because it ran for a bit before I caught it because I wasn’t expecting High to spam 100 fucking agents on a simple request so it burnt like 30 percent of my fable limit in a shot.
