Multiple builders complain about watching usage and burning plan limits quickly when Claude Code works on tasks, making cost visibility and budgeting a core part of daily agent use.
Have not once hit a weekly limit with Claude and the Max plan and somehow in the last two days I'm hitting both daily and weekly limits.
POV: your claude limit is over again in 5 mins
I haven't hit my claude code terminal limit in weeks but this week I hit it in like 45min...
Me checking the session usage every time Claude starts working on my prompt
I asked Claude to build a simple CRUD feature for an internal app and it burned through 5% of my plan
starting to think opus 1m context was enabled by default so people hit their limits faster on claude code
1m isn't really useful anyways, just burns limit 5x faster (200k is better)
