[FEATURE] Token limits make sustained project work impractical on Pro plan

Problem Statement
I'm a Pro subscriber using Claude Code to build a complete website (PHP/MySQL, ~20 files, admin panel, full frontend) for a volunteer project, a kennel website for a friend, done on my own time while on long-term sick leave.
The work is going extremely well, the quality of what Claude Code produces is genuinely extraordinary. But the token/context limits are a consistent and frustrating blocker. On a project like this, where continuity matters (the AI needs to remember
architecture decisions, file structure, naming conventions, what was built last session), hitting the limit mid-session means losing context, re-explaining, and sometimes losing momentum on complex tasks entirely.
I'm in Sweden, building something for free for someone who can't afford a web agency. Claude Code is the reason this project is possible at all, but the token ceiling is the one thing that keeps getting in the way.
Proposed Solution
Specific asks:
- Higher context limits for sustained project work on the Pro plan
- Consideration for reduced-cost or expanded-access tiers for people on fixed incomes, unemployed, on sick leave, students, or doing volunteer/non-commercial work. This tooling is transformative but the pricing assumes a commercial/professional
context that not everyone is in.
