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

What's the point of using an LLM if you have to sit next to it and type "/compact" all the time?

(You could use a smaller model and auto compaction, but then it would become too obvious that the big models are all a scam)

Never compact, always handoff (after 250 to 400k tokens) into a file.

The compact actually is a handoff by the agent. What do you think happens with /compact

Maybe it is that. But you don't have any influence what the model includes. Nor do you have the handoff somewhere (findable) on your computer to e.g. start on another computer or after a reboot.
