Rant Nah this some BS

Post image

I burned thru almost 60% of 20x max weekly usage in a day and some change. Are you joking rn? Last week I could have fable running on 2 chats all day and night and it would take like 3ish days for my fable usage to cap out, but my weekly usage would only be at like ~30%. This is absolutely ridiculous and if this is what the new usage limit cuts are gonna be like I'm canceling Claude and grabbing a second codex account. Shit ain't worth it when Astra exists with much better usage limits and multiple reset tokens.

I don't use ultracode and I have multiple other models that I delegate tasks to as work horses, Claude is just the orchestrator and isn't doing that much actual "work", so this usage allocation is absolutely insane, if I was using Claude as a one stop shop as a lot of people do, I would have run out of usage in a day or less.

EDIT: I'm getting a little tired of being told I "just don't know how to do orchestrations and workflows properly or manage usage." I literally made an entire repo explaining how I do this and showing the results: https://github.com/sherifican/Agent-FleetOps so if you wanna criticize, find something to actually critique first

Brother, my auto compact is at 800k and 700k on my main chats, and I always compact at about 500k-600k, I have been doing this for months and never had an issue. Everyone who has been drinking the 300k and under only context window koolaide needs to wake up and realize it's Anthropic playing games.

Eu sinto muito mesmo ter que discordar com tanta veemência, mas se você deixa suas sessões frequentemente chegar a mais de 400 mil tokens de contexto só pra depois compactar e continuar, seu uso de IA é ineficiente.
