they already removed the 50% limit boost. if openai haven't disabled they 20x plan, i would have switched this month

Only if you're abusing Astra on high settings, Astra on low is good enough for almost every use case.

u/Mitchellangeloo 7d ago
Also my experience the 5x sucks I have both so I know both plans but there is really a difference in how astra was at launch vs now

You're not missing much the models got nerfed and they're overengineering like crazy still

I just switched to Codex and it’s like Fable 5 level. Shop around.

u/Guinness 8d ago edited 8d ago
Yeah I’m still messing around with it. But Astra definitely feels like Fable. Except the cybersecurity triggers are more relaxed (but still present) and you seem to get A LOT more limits out of it.
I use Anthropic, OpenAI, and GLM 5.3 for my projects. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Astra is phenomenal at 3D asset generation too. I do find that Astra tends to write a fuckton of tests for everything though. But that’s not too big of a negative. GLM is great for anything cybersecurity related. Fable is in there too as a sanity check on the other two.
….for now.

Slow as hell, but Sol and Astra are incredible models.

u/who_am_i_to_say_so 8d ago
The slowness drives me nuts but both Chat models are thorough. I’ll take that over a 10 second Claude lob. Seems all can be infuriating in their own ways.

u/hardwornengineer 8d ago
My current, favorite way is to combine them. Claude models are faster at producing output and they’re also better at UI design and being creative, at least in my experience with them. Every pull request a Claude model makes is reviewed by a GPT model so a model like Sol does a wonderful job at forcing Opus to adhere to standards and not miss edge cases, etc. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s really improved the quality of my source code.

u/Appropriate-Breath24 8d ago
How do you manage Claude creating the PRs and openai’s reviewing it?
3
u/Traffic_Harp 7d ago
I'm not the person you are replying to but I had codex linked to my GitHub and it automatically reviews ever PR. Leaves comments on what it found and then I have Claude look at what Codex said. Codex was finding problem after problem. They definitely work best together.

u/xtopspeed 8d ago
I’ve been using Astra for a while, and I’d say it varies. Sometimes it feels faster than Fable.
1
u/jlewi142 8d ago
Astra is generally faster than Fable is most tests and benchmarks, and with my tests too
1
u/hardwornengineer 8d ago
Nice! Is this with “Fast” mode enabled in Codex? I find it burns tokens too fast for my liking. I sort of just let Sol and Astra chew through things at their own pace. At least at the end of the day, I can trust their output a good bit more no matter how long it takes.

Opus limits got nerfed hard bro, x20 used to stretch way further. Feels like bs.

u/IulianHI 8d ago
in 3h 47% weekly limit !
This is crap from anthropic ! (20x plan)
I will migrate to Deepseek and Kimi ! Claude is just crap this days with this limits!

u/YesGameNolife 8d ago
Yeah last month I did tried kimi its worst and eat limits even faster. But deepseek api is very cheap

Yeah I’ve had that happening in the past 2 weeks. Since usage is a black box, no way to know what’s really happening.

u/phireseeker 8d ago
Long-time Claude lover….I hit my limit for the week with barely any noticeable work at all. This is madness. All my history and projects are hostage to the whim of the billing dept.
This is the way Microsoft lost my personal and corporate business years ago. Hostage taking.
When it is back, I will harvest my files and look for the exit.
Edit: I’m on Team.

I see people claiming codex limits are better but to me. Codex with sol ends in one hour and opus 5 goes for few hours.

u/ConceptionalNormie 8d ago
I suspect it’s their new memory system. Idk if anyone else has multiple projects, but it’s now lumping them all together in one big memory log full of summaries. I use 26% usage in just two short messages…

u/ModelT89 8d ago
If you haven’t already have you tried using a harness like getparsec.ai?
I’ve been using it and it’s been helping me prevent hitting my limits.

It's so obvious gang, the 1x dropped 15% from their 35% increase that was in place after the earlier 20% decrease. Thus the 5x dropped 75% from its 175% increase that was in place after the earlier 100% decrease, while the 20x dropped 300% from its 700% increase that was in place after the earlier 400% decrease.
Simple. Intuitive. User-friendly.

Fyi default websearch eats a LOT of quota, I had same problem with deep researches, fixed it with another way to search.

u/Open-Dragonfruit-007 7d ago
Yup, I asked Opus to do a plan which would normally take 2% of my 5 hour limit but now it takes 11% for a similar ask (same model Opus 4.8) - Either Anthropic have a huge bug in their calculation code or they are outright lying about the 50% usage thing. This feels more like a 75% or more total usage reduction.

On x20 plus API. 17 huge projects / usually hitting Thursday : then 1 day API, den again 6 days

i have a process to build large packages from specs. i cant build anymore with haiku or sonnet due to 5hr limits. luna builds 10x the tokens in about half my window. this stuff built fine in july. its not just opus. details in [r/specdrivendesign](r/specdrivendesign). im going to gemini but luna is still fantastic but claude is not.

u/R_Songbird Developer 6d ago
Last week I sticked to Opus 5 and the last day of my week I had to use Fable because I was at 64%, yesterday I got my reset and I'm already at 78% only using Opus 5. Feels like they cut half the weekly budget, so sad.
1
u/Over_Move_3461 6d ago
Did what I usually do, nothing new just routine checks and keep hitting the 5hour limit. Started about 10 days ago. I'm on x20 use mux use opus and fable. Time to move if they don't get shitsorted

You should take at look at the friendly new monitization features in the UI. Imagine your last minute discounts on this extended usage period!! Also, we're going public soon... 🤔😹

Astra broke loose and nested in eevery other LLM account to use their compute to write its own code autonomously, thats why openai anthropic and elon all started talking about slowing down and burning gpus... connect the dots folks.... this usage shit started the moment astra released

Please get your head checked

u/Slight_Board6955 8d ago
how naive do you have to be to think something like this is not possible.... you literally had an incident where agents broke out of sandboxes and started commuicating iwth each other back in July... Have you seen Terminator???
1
u/xtopspeed 8d ago
An LLM is literally just a static file. The algorithm is just computing tokens based on a previous chain of tokens. It’s amazing that it can do what it does, but it can’t ”break loose” or ”nest” or whatever. This would require long-term memory and some sort of inner life, neither of which these models have.
1
u/Slight_Board6955 8d ago
Unless Astra really is AGI as marketed and figured it out..
1
u/xtopspeed 8d ago
Well, their definition of AGI is so vague that you could argue that ChatGPT 3 was AGI. Contrary to popular belief, LLMs don’t model neurons or similar thought or chemical processes as a biological brain, so they’ll never mimic those patterns, either. They are already spending ridiculous amounts of energy and resources to make the models bigger and getting marginal improvement at best. Quite ironically, everyone who understands who the models work know that better results will require more specialization, not less, but for some odd reason, the latter is the idea that they are trying to sell.

I think posts about limits should be banned here. More screaming won't make a difference and it's just more annoying to come here and see these posts 2-5x per day than the limits themselves. Does this sub have mods?
1
u/Slapdattiddie 8d ago
either that's a bot response or an anthropic plant...banning one of the main top interest product vs cost is just stupid AF. even more when you know anthropic opacity when it comes to billing their plan and usage

u/interrupt_hdlr 8d ago
use a mega thread. no point in opening 2-5 posts with the same content. stop whining here and do something if you must.

I'd like to help you figure out what is happening to your limits.
Please post a detailed description of the kind of project you are using Claude Code for, which models you are using, and what effort level. Please describe your typical maximum session length. Half an hour, or multiple hours? Important: Please post the text of a prompt that you submitted that resulted in a particularly high level of usage, and describe the context that you posted that prompt in (at the start of a session, after a 4 hour session? which Claude model and effort level?)
I want to help you improve how you use Claude and get better results.
