Description

I'm on the Max plan ($100/month) and my usage limit is being hit much faster than approximately 2 weeks ago. Same workflow, same usage patterns, but sessions are now cut short significantly earlier.

Impact

As a power user relying on Claude Code for daily professional work, this regression severely impacts productivity. I'm hitting "You've hit your limit!" within a few hours of focused work, whereas previously I could work through much longer sessions.

Environment

  • Plan: Claude Max ($100/mo)
  • Model: Claude Opus 4.6
  • Platform: Linux (Ubuntu)
  • Usage: Daily professional development workflows

Request

  1. Transparency: What changed in the limit calculations / token budgets?
  2. Restore previous limits or offer a higher tier for power users who need extended sessions
  3. Consider separate limits for /fast mode vs full Opus, since fast mode should cost less

Thank you for building an amazing tool — I just need more of it!
