Anthropic API Overloaded Error During Request Retry Sequence

How am I supposed to work like this? I am on the max 200 USD plan. All of the cursor users are flocking to Claude code. I should be getting more priority due to me paying more than the other users. I will remember this when Gemini's CLI gets better, Anthropic ;)

I am seeing a good number of these as well, and I can't say for sure, but it certainly seems like Anthropic have 10x reduced the quota of my 5x plan. I used to be able to run the whole day, but even with light use (no planning, loading up lots of context) I am about to hit my limit.

Ain't no way this is worth 90GBP a month.

+1 here

I can't use Claude Code for the last 3 hours for the same reason.

EDIT: I have now API Error - Request timed out issue

It is only with Opus 4, even in the maximum 200USD plan. @claude , do you have any thoughts on this issue?

Last week the same for me as well. Every single 5 hour window I am hitting the warnings for Opus. I'm doing normal web development, nothing out of the ordinary. But to be honest, never managed to run out of usage, was just seeing the warning that wasn't there before. If you're not on full MAX, that's $200, I can totally see how you're running into issues.

Same issue with the 200$ plan today. I also feel like the limits are reached much faster than usually these last few days.

I feel like reaching the opus limits way faster, usually after a few requests only. ( 200$ plan)

Same here .... and I'm on a Max plan too

Same here

API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 1/10)
⎿ API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 2/10)

⎿ API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 4 seconds… (attempt 4/10)

Same

Same here on Max. This is ridiculous performance for the money.

thank you for the reports - this should be resolved now

I'm still getting these responses:
⎿ API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Overloaded"}}

continue

⎿ API Error (529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"}}) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 1/10)

Working perfectly fine for me the past few hours now.
