Claude Code limits are starting to feel like a psychological trick

5•trinsic2•1d ago
I signed up for the Claude Code Pro Subscription about a month ago. and I have been really careful about my limits because I burned through them pretty easily about two weeks ago, but this week Im already at 10% and have been barley using it..

Since there is no transparency around the metric for these limits they could easily change the metric and it wouldn't be easy to measure it. I'm thinking about canceling my sub because there is no clear way for me to understand this metric but wanted to see what others thought about this.

Easiest cancelation of the year tbh. They went mask off - get your refund.

What you are experiencing is called bait and switch... we should all be building on site models.

That is the point.

They want inconsistency so then you get to buy more usage. We are like 6mo-1y behind of just running these models (looking at you kimi) on a mac studio and not having to pay another company that think they are building the machine god. Anthropic and co have less of a moat than you think.

I've been on Max20 for quite a while now, and I remember my transition process very well. Now I'm missing the Max20 subscription, and I’m thinking about buying a second account. I can’t say the problem is with Anthropic, because I really am using the service more and more. With the Pro subscription, I couldn’t afford to run two agents in a separate terminal that restart each other for hours on end. Or run research with 10–15 agents simultaneously, but this really boosts efficiency by a factor of several times, so yes, a second account is the way to go for me.

Check the Claude Code reddit. You aren't alone, people have been mass-canceling for the past weeks for the same reason.

It's a good opportunity for people to try kimi and others, and now that soon we will have an agentic harness similar to Claude Code as its getting rewritten to Rust... I guess let's look elsewhere?

My guess is that Anthropic is focusing on enterprise as it gets ready for an IPO, leaving behind solo devs.

I find it very unlikely for this to change, unless they get even more datacenters and capacity to address how much demand they've got recently.

I hear someone rewrote Claude code in python (I hope they used Claude code to do it).

It might be useful if people posted their preferred code harnesses here.

I am running some local llms it would be cool to see some discussions of the specifics.

Just cancel

Just forget about Claude and use Codex with your $20/month subscription. I’ve never run into limits using it 4 months

Would have agreed with this a month ago but I am hitting limits now.

I think the economics of agentic coding is starting to normalize.

This is why I just use OpenCode and see the dollar amount of tokens next to my session. I can decide if the task is worth the cost. Or if I should hand code / use a cheaper model.
