What's Wrong?

This has happened twice to me now. Rubber ducking was my previous style of AI implementation so I would take my time and was able to create on Pro without any issues. Based on my commitment now I need Max. I initially upgraded to 5x and was doing fine in the middle of a session I need to increase to 20x and needed to exit out of all my sessions. That is not allowing an engineer to produce the product. Hello?

What Should Happen?

If you increase your usage during a thread of prompt engineering - Claude auto call an API to the user on the payment side. There are simple things that need help in the Product. Willing to help.

Give the solution outright? thats wild.
