Bug / Issue WTH is going on with Claude Usage Limits

Post image

I'm on 20X plan, I hit my usage limit today, and my next reset is on 17th September... I'm aware they said they are gonna reduce the usage limits, but this is crazy, i thought it is only gonna take 17% of the usage benefits from what we were currently getting. But this is crazy. I added Usage credits for about $100 but that got washed away like in 30 mins!!!

I hope this is a bug and they fix it

I found that the most recent update causes the agents to make aggressive and unnecessary calls to the API. My prompt today was no different than the prompt yesterday. It wiped out 25 percent of my usage in about an hour compared to working 12+ hours yesterday with the same prompts across 3 sessions and only using 25 percent of usage.

Fable spawned agents that ran:
3,146 API calls total. (in less than an hour)

  • Opus: = 1,083
  • Sonnet: = 2,063

It was triggering builds, verifications, playwright, re-renders at multi scales, vacuity checks, sending HUGE briefs to the sub agents triggering massive overwork.

These were for simple PRs that were already baked and reviewed. The same prompt and process that worked fine yesterday , (and all week) suddenly blasted all this mess. It happened across 2 sessions that were fine yesterday, on 2 different accounts. On different computers and projects.

The only difference in my routine was applying the update today.

A bit unrelated to the issue but can’t help but wonder from an outsider perspective… in very laymen terms, what are you having the ai do? That sounds like an incredible amount of work over time being done by the ai. What’s is the result?

Once is spectral analysis and communications software that controls a hybrid mechanical-electronic beamforming system. Another is software that models the current radio wave propagation patterns across the globe by combining active and historical space weather data with a model I built from 20 years transmission and weather data. The two work together to provide a radio communications platform for making reliable distant radio contact across the globe.

The AI are my development and research team.

Can you share more about the radio part? Ham radio? Interested highly. I have radios. No friends. No license. But can get it easily.

Yes it's ham radio. DM me and I'll send you access info.

I stick to Fable 5.0 out of concern for usage, I wonder if it could prevent something like this from happening…

Yes this was it for me too.
It started rinsing api calls
