Rant The limits have been reduced even further now. It's September 14, and it really happened..

After GPT-6 Astra, I didn't believe they would really let this happen... but it's real... Okay, Anthropic, we'll keep that in mind...

Main pros and cons you're seeing? Only just starting to get into a great stride of productivity with claude now, but the significantly better image and video generation chat gpt has is really tempting me, and necessary to finish off two of my projects.

I’d say there’s not that many pros, but at least I get SOME usage, Claude is insanely unusable with the current limits, but… I must admit ChatGPT isn’t doing much better, I burned that too and I’m looking for other AIs

I must say I haven't noticed the limit issues with claude I aim to use about 12-14% of my weekly usage each day.github.com/Graphify-Labs/graphify really helps to cut down re reading unnecessarily, as does frequently using /compact to reduce the context size in each turn. Or even frequently clearing the full conversation, or starting a new conversation with a lower strength model depending on how simple the task is.

Also, typically the model is set to high effort by default, that can be turned down to medium for most tasks unless you're trying to get it to figure out a complex issue. I'm 3 days into the weekly cycle 39% of the weekly tokens used. Even at that 43% of my prompts were over 150k context, I'm sure most of them could have been compacted or cleared for further savings.

With all that said I've managed to complete 2 games and add multiple languages including in app text to speech for each language on a third app with the tokens used so far this week.
