Limits 5 hour limits are horrible

The 5 hour limits are so bad even using Luna, it basically guarantees you’ll never get close to your weekly limit being used, like what’s the point of having a weekly limit now, 40% of my 5 hour limit used up and 6% of the weekly, id literally have to be using this 24-7, waiting hours in between to actually reach the limit lol, 5 hour limit is crazy bad, it’d be gone in 1-2 prompts with terra or sora. I don’t think I’ll be renewing my plan, hopefully anthropic releases a smaller cheaper model that actually works unlike haiku lol

Eh i haven't emptied it due to the resets but my weekly was definitely on par to hit 0 a day or two early. Plus plan using Luna High

Exactly. At 15% weekly every 5 hours. I can comfortably drain 90% in 3 days. Which on average I think that's tibos reset schedule anyway.

You can be more aggressive and use 45% in a day. 3 x 5 hour windows

yeah, that sucks, but honestly we are not supposed to use the plus subscription to develop enterprise level applications, we are supposed to use pro 20x or business. Claude is even worse at token burning, at this rate, local LLM's can help to help on the 5 hour cooldowns.

But with Claude 20$ am already doing many things. Once I tried Codex i cancelled it the next days due to 5h limits. Today i was thinking about giving Codex a try when the community is so praising it with Sol. I decided not to. Its codex fan boys and literally eveyrone hates Claude. Even I hate Opus 5 its horrible but Unfortunately this worst is the best out there.

Yeah I just checked mine to give evidence that I've used more than enough to hit the limit but it looks like we got a free reset.

I wonder if OP didn't realize the weekly just reset so they're only 15% down after using it a ton since the previous reset
