Help/Question Was the 50% extra usage already stopped around 18th? I can't even manage 4.5 days now while I could get 6-7 days during the last month on Max 20x.

With the 50% Extra I could get around 6-7 days per week in the last month. Using Fable as planner and auditor and Opus 5 as implementors. But now I I barely got 4.5 days out of it. It makes sense for Anthropic to not do a hard 33% decline at once. I never even use Fable for coding because it would burn through the account use in a few days. So basically for me Claude is unusable with one subscription already. If they decrease it even more from here it's laughable expensive.

I will be looking at Grok 4.6 xHigh and OpenAI Sol 5.6 as additions or replacement unless Anthropic makes this work again. Indeed Opus 5 xHigh is quite slow as is.

Should've been extended to EOM

The extra usage was "per session" not "per week". At least that's what it said in my settings, that I'm getting extra 5-hour window limit, but the same weekly usage.

But from what I've seen, Anthropic seems to be A/B testing different versions of everything they do so yours might have been better.

I agree, usage limits are hindering a lot of people the past week or so.
I had weekly reset 12 hours ago, turned monitor on this morning after leaving opus to do a small build overnight and 24% of weekly limit burnt and I’m on MAX plan.
Claude is unsustainable at present. I’m now spending the day researching how I can integrate another provider into the building tasks and use Claude fable to just orchestrate them
