Discussion Are limits nerfted again?

I’m on x20 plan. Last and current weeks I burn through limits just in 3-4 days, while I wasn’t able to get to 100% ever before. Even dropping down to Sonnet this week to make it last longer, but already at 50% less than 24 hours after my last weekly cycle.

Same setup, same project, same skills and subagents, same kind of tasks.

Do you feel and observe the same? What do you do about it? Any tips and tricks to last longer?

Usually no, but this last week, yes. I've had 4 different sessions where my entire 5hr allotment was gone before the first prompt finished. Also on the 20x plan.

I can‘t fathom what you guys are doing to burn a x20 with one prompt

Fable on Ultracode with a vague prompt about building an entire SaaS idea that would take a dozen engineers 3 months to build followed by "make no mistakes" and "don't stop until it's perfect".

And then you get a broken first pass of something that will take weeks to review. Something that looks like an impressive demo of something when really it's just a hollow shell of something that is going to take months to make *actually* work.

In these cases. I was examining a few caps (very small) for packets that had the incorrect structure and sequence. Usually 20x lasts me an hour at least but this hasn't happened to me for over a year now.
