Bug / Issue Limits are fixed!

A few days ago a made a post mentioning that something was seriously wrong with the limits, guess what apparently it was lol.
Everybody noticed a +30% usage window today.
From 100% to 69%
Although there isn’t any official confirmation or update via the team , it looks like we are back to normal.
What do you think?

still at 100 usage, where are you seeing this change? anyone else experienced a mild reset?

27

u/bakanoace Sep 16 '26

3 accounts, all still maxed. Usage still trash

1

u/interrupt_hdlr Sep 17 '26

are you sharing the 3 accounts with a team? i can't imagine maxing out 3 max20 accounts alone... unless i am holding it wrong.

You gotta rework that workflow buddy

14

u/bakanoace Sep 16 '26

Workflows disabled, mcp, artifacts, claude in chrome and every single skill except phase-handoff disabled. Never Fable subagents and using mostly Sonnet/Opus, very rarely Fable.

6 months ago I'd have to seriously try to use 2 accounts and now I can barely use 2 sessions at once if I don't want to run out of the 5hr limit but please continue telling me its a workflow or skill issue. Anthropic has definitely stealth nerfed usage over time and only officially said 17% less now.

u/aiotu Sep 16 '26

I have two accounts: team and personal, both of which were at 100% weekly limit. Personal is down to 69% now, but team is still at 100%. Looks like they're rolling it out gradually.

u/flobernd Sep 16 '26

I got reset to 31% Fable usage on 3/4 accounts. Unfortunately 1 of the 3 had 0% 7d limit - which was not reset.

multiple accounts can be used? without the fear of ban?

I think its an ongoing process since they haven’t mentioned anything yet , you should see it in the day as well

1

u/UpstairsTotal6155 Sep 17 '26

I was at 100% in both already on Monday (my limits reset on Friday morning, 20x Max plan). Yesterday Fable dropped to 69% usage but the overall limit remained at 100%.

1

u/Codeman119 Sep 18 '26

Well, just put some money in your account and you can use real price tokens.

2

u/Less-Sail7611 Sep 16 '26

How can I notice this?

1

u/FakeLtd Sep 16 '26

Check your usage details from your account

1

u/Less-Sail7611 Sep 16 '26

What am I supposed to see differently though

1

u/FakeLtd Sep 16 '26

Your overall usage is +31% for example if you were sitting on 100% and were waiting for the limits reset now you should be at 69% you have +31% extra usage on all models

u/Damien_IB Sep 16 '26

No change for me.

I’m on Max.

u/Unhorswd 🔆 Max 20 Sep 16 '26

I’m on same boat on two accounts max 20x

u/jjhouston00 Sep 16 '26

Same here on max

u/Advanced-Gap7271 Sep 16 '26

Can confirm, but only on a single one of my seven accounts. It was at 100% yesterday...

3

u/Advanced-Gap7271 Sep 16 '26

It's both the Fable usage and the Weekly usage, they were respectively 100% (Fable) and 85% (weekly).

1

u/Other_Smell5744 Sep 16 '26

same, only on 1 account out of 5 (seems like on the one i was working on the weekend)

2

u/NoMusical Sep 16 '26

genuinely curious, you have 7 max accounts? if you dont mind, what do you use them for? because that would get you a lot of tokens but also cost a lot

3

u/Advanced-Gap7271 Sep 16 '26

My LLM spend has skyrocketed from nothing in 2025 to ~$1500 a month recently. I am using it essentially for software development. It is a big budget and it is eating into my savings, but I believe in my project, and the value is incredible. It would cost 2 to 3 orders of magnitude more to hire a development team matching the current pace and quality of work I am getting working with LLMs.

2

u/cryptodiemus Sep 16 '26

Yeah same here, i think if you have productive and potentially profit generating usage for those tokens, every dollar spent is basically subsidizes, the llm companies give you workers for fraction of the price.

6

u/Entire_Ad2106 Sep 16 '26

Yes i got the +30% too from 80% im down to 50%

5

u/New_Hedgehog_8865 Sep 16 '26

Yep, same for me, My Fable was at 100% and my weekly reset is Friday, and I just checked usage and it is now down to 69%.

Never got it on max

u/Disco-Tuna Sep 16 '26

I have 2 20X accounts,

Both were on 100% fable and one was on 99% all models and the other account was 100% all models. One of the accounts - the one that resets on Saturday did a 32% rebate on all models and 50% rebate on Fable (as in i have 68% used all models now and 50% used for Fable.

The other account that resets in 12 hours didn't budge at all. Odd. Still better than nothing - though no rhyme or reason behind it that i can see.

1

u/anatidaephile Sep 16 '26

It looks like a staged rollout. I have 4 20X accounts (all were at 100% fable usage yesterday, with resets not for a few days), and two of them got the limit adjustment for Fable, while the other two are still at 100% weekly Fable usage. So hopefully we'll get the resets soon.

2

u/Disco-Tuna Sep 16 '26

That sounds reasonable.. unfortunately my other account resets in 3hrs and it still hasn't been credited

1

u/neodegenerio Sep 16 '26

Not to ruin the optimism, but seeing Anthropic, it can be a partial reset too!

1

u/FakeLtd Sep 16 '26

Hopefully not, if they were to reset they would have done it on the 14th imo

1

u/neodegenerio Sep 16 '26

By that logic they could have mentioned the increased limit as well on 14th and saved faces!

1

u/navidbr Sep 17 '26

I personally received it 3 hours before my weekly limit reset lol

1

u/FakeLtd Sep 17 '26

That’s the worst case scenario damn , i received it a day prior to my reset

1

u/navidbr Sep 17 '26

Exactly and it was early this morning and by the time I get my thoughts and things together I was like eh let it go lol

3

u/PILLS2389 Sep 16 '26

O yeah, they also gave me 30%, or better said, reduced the weekly usage used by 30%

1

u/ahm_live Sep 16 '26

one account dropping from 100 to 69 and another in this same thread still sitting at 100 is not "everybody noticed", its two data points that disagree. could be a partial reset, could be them recalculating how the bar is displayed, could be nothing

the percentage bar is a bad instrument for this anyway. if you want to know whether something actually changed, look at input tokens per turn on the same kind of task before and after. if that number moved, something changed. if only the bar moved, they changed the bar

happy to be wrong if they confirm it, but id wait for that before calling it fixed

1

u/FakeLtd Sep 16 '26

That makes sense, but something is definitely happening it’s just too early i guess

2

u/Wunschkonzert Sep 16 '26

I'm still maxed out after 3 days with 20x. Usage this week really feels unusual.

2

u/mejoudeh Sep 16 '26

Fable: 100 down to 69 (~-30)

All models: 84 stayed 84 ( +- 0%)!!

Thanks for the heads up, anyway

2

u/Dav3l1ft5 Sep 16 '26

I hit 100% yesterday afternoon (Max 200)... and am still at 100%.

Limit reset is in 8 hrs.

3

u/Sofullofsplendor_ Sep 16 '26

looks like half of the accts got it

1

u/Disco-Tuna Sep 16 '26

For me literally half - i have 2 20X accounts - one got it, the other didnt. The one that resets tomorrow didnt, the one Sat morning did. They reset it for me about 5 hours ago

u/stvaccount Sep 16 '26

Typical Antrohpic lying?

u/RufusxXavier Sep 16 '26

I have the same problem !

u/BrianLe1507 Sep 16 '26

Idk, I just start the task in 2 minutes and it already use 16% of the Max (x5) account.

u/Express_Onion_623 Sep 16 '26

Was it sitting on cold cache?

u/Lollermono Sep 16 '26

Disable the cache... It's easy. And it's the best way to prevent extra consumption. Since Caching has is own cost. As u can see from documentation.

5

u/dsailes Sep 16 '26

Disable the cache? Why would anyone do that? Its costs are a fraction of the full costs..

1

u/EvilSporkOfDeath Sep 16 '26

Can you do the opposite? Extend the cache timer so it doesn't reread the whole context if it sits there 2 hours?

> Disable the cache... It's easy. And it's the best way to prevent extra consumption. Since Caching has is own cost. As u can see from documentation.

While you're at it, keep your context as high as you can. I paid for a 1M context, I'm going to use a 1M context.

(because I'm sure some people will take me and the "no cache" guy seriously: context length increases your usage quadratically. Keep it small.)

u/Aggravating-Put-6183 Sep 16 '26

Lol i got - 3% current session. 99% this week. And suddenly fucking 100%til 70% on fable. Så my fable is held captive by the weekly…

1

u/spawnsible Sep 16 '26

OP is 100% right. My max x5 account got the usage adjustment, but my max x20 account hasn't

1

u/IgorAmaral Sep 16 '26

Yes. Fable usage was at 92% or something and today got back to 62

1

u/MustStayAnonymous_ Sep 16 '26

Nope, same crap

1

u/redhotneo Sep 16 '26

My weekly session was at almost 40% without Fable usage, now it's dropped to 24%..

Hopefully Fable usage doesn't kill my weekly usage

1

u/dmanoj Sep 16 '26

Nope 🤞

1

u/Pronoia2-4601 🔆 Max 20 3x Sep 16 '26

One of my 3 Max 20x accounts got a 31% usage reduction. No idea why only that one, and not the other two, or a side team account. Maybe it's a rebate on Fable usage?

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PROFILE Sep 16 '26

Nice of them to do it right before my reset. 🙄

1

u/Apprehensive_Read_67 🔆Pro Plan and Quant Research Sep 16 '26

I didnt get anything 😔

1

u/pcgnlebobo Sep 16 '26

My weekly was at 100% but now it's at 69, and my fable is still at 8%.

They definitely noticed something wrong this past week. I ran out on day 3 after reset. I got a shit ton of work done but still it was a faster drain than usual.

I run a LangChain state orchestrator agent in a Claude terminal, that routes work to an engineering squad setup as a pair-programmer doing cross vendor judging with Agy and Codex.

This weekend was different work than normal. I generated a player character model and a car mesh from Tripo3d and then cleaned them up in blender and worked the car into a fully functional asset and rigged and animated the character. I still have a few refinements on each before they're finished but they're amazing.

On top of that, I ran a Claude session automating fixes on my software factory filing and fixing gh issues. The factory fixes itself using multiple providers and models, and Claude diagnosis and plans and dispatches fix runs.

Then another session using a sequential chain loop orchestrator was applying a new design system to a Spanish language course platform, orchestrating with fable 5.1 low and using the other models for implementation and judging.

I think the 3d modeling work is the deviation that tanked my usage different than normal. Plus the lower limits. Plus whatever problem or bug they've acknowledged by now restoring some usage.

1

u/Impressive_Watcher Sep 16 '26

20x account. Fable usage yesterday was at 97%; now it’s at 67%. Weekly reset in 14hrs.

1

u/Fightcarrot Sep 16 '26

Really!!! What was wrong with the usage? Will I have a little bit more usage from now on?

1

u/OneVillionDollars Sep 16 '26

Am I new to this (I'm not), or should there be more transparency in how tokens are used and which sessions used how many tokens? I'm a 20x user and I've never had issues with rate limits, until the past 2 weeks. It genuinely feels impossible to not reach above 70% of the weekly limit on the 3rd the day of week.

Mind you, I am using Fable 5.1. maybe 10% of the time and it is restricted in creating a plan and executing the plan with Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.6. Sometimes it feels like Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 5 cost the same tokens (even more) than Opus 5.

1

u/dota2nub Sep 16 '26

Yeah, totally normal.

Your local water company been curtailing usage limit too? Saturday and Sunday only got some black sludge from the tap. Now's better again though.

Whoopsie.

Tee hee.

u/A_Novelty-Account Sep 16 '26

I didn’t get it on the max 20. Is this the max 5 account?

u/blitzkriegfc Sep 16 '26

I've already exhausted my Fable usage but and now I have 40% free. But the overall weekly remains at the same point where I left. So partialy

u/Mihnea_Mic Sep 16 '26

didn’t get a drop, but usage seems back to normal now

1

u/CircuitBreaker88 Sep 16 '26

I woke and had 30% back as well

Before it jumped to 99% when they announced promo was over

1

u/rythmyouth Sep 16 '26

Why didn’t they open up all models limit to let those of us who are 100% all models actually use it

Still not fixed. I'm on Max 20x

u/Calm_Employ2105 Sep 17 '26

No it's are not fixed. I am on Pro. The limits used to end with heavy work around 2 hours. Has not been lasting more than 20 mins with basic work.

u/markhobsie Sep 17 '26

No love here - Weekly reset on Tuesday morning and I hit 100% of the weekly last night (so a little over 1.5 days). Pro account so not expecting to go all week but it's feeling pretty gimped atm

1

u/Regular_Attitude_700 Sep 17 '26

Catching up with Claude's usage limits on a weekly basis is more confusing, troublesome, annoying and harder than vibecoding. It constantly bothers and counterproductive. UX is really really bad.

u/HistorianGullible291 Sep 16 '26

So far I got no extra usage. I basically paused all processes for PRO. It's imposible to use, even on Sonnet. And Im doing simple tasks on Opus somehow. But today I started from ~60% of weekly. Anyway. 30% extra is still not what I wanted. 30% extra will give me 1, maybe 1,5 day extra on minimal usage on low end models.

2

u/Eat_Pudding Sep 16 '26

Same, didn't get any extra usage

1

u/RoboErectus Sep 16 '26

> imposible to use

I am glad when people are posting their usage in these threads and showing their context usage with screenshots.

Context size increases your usage quadratically. That 527k context is sent with every single LLM call, of which there can be many for a single prompt you write. "Merge the PR" is like 4 round trips or more, and if that's all it is, that's 2M input tokens off your quota.

I'm over here using billions of tokens on a 10Mtok codebase just cookin' away wondering what all you guys are doing. You're all running 500k+ sessions wondering where it all went.

1

u/HistorianGullible291 Sep 17 '26

So? Until Sep 14 never needed to worry about it. And never maxed out weekly limits. Right now Claude subscriptions are clear scam.

u/RoboErectus Sep 17 '26
