What's Wrong?
I'm on the Pro plan at 90€ HT/month and I regularly hit rate limits
during long coding sessions. Agents get killed mid-task with
"You've hit your limit" errors, losing significant work progress.
For the price point, the quotas feel insufficient for professional
use. I'd expect either higher limits or at minimum a graceful
degradation (slower responses) instead of hard stops.
Environment: Claude Code CLI, macOS, Opus model
What Should Happen?
Pro plan (90€ HT/month) should allow sustained long coding sessions without hitting rate limits that kill agents mid-task.
Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session on Pro plan
- Launch multiple agents in parallel for a large project
- After ~2-3 hours of intensive work, agents start failing with "You've hit your limit"
- Work is lost and context is broken
