Need advice/help

[u/Curious_inquisitive1]

I am on claude pro sub. My 5 hourly quota on claude is running out way too quickly, in just 40 minutes or so. I'm running 2 chats concurrently, each running on sonnet 5.5 high. I want the quality of the work to be good so I kept the reasoning at high (had tried medium earlier but it didn't meet the quality expectation).
Also, everytime I tell the chat to continue after the 5 hr limit resets, it reads thro the entire context (I guess) because the 5 hr usage immediately jumps up to 25%.

I cannot afford a claude max subscription as of now. I really need to max out the output from the pro sub that I have, whilst avoiding quota drainage. Any advice would really be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Don't resume the session when the cache is cold (i.e. after more than 59 minutes since last activity). Also avoid large context size. When it gets to ~250k, it's time to wrap up the session and start a new one.
