What's Wrong?
Your usage limit has a big issue as it does not make any sense to use that much when using it just for few hours and mostly to review 5 files of code. You have to fix this issue as the usage you are providing there is like for normal pro account which does not make any sense. Also 20% usage just to review diffs with sonnet 4.5 when i use another competitor who is doing the full coding did not reach this usage it makes me think a lot!!!! Please address this issue as soon a possible and thank you....
What Should Happen?
Fix the rate limit properly

Today, my context window fills up after two or three messages, even though only a few hundred lines of code are being read. I don't understand what's going on.
i am pretty sure it's a bug because this rate limit we are seeing now is like divided by 20 the normal rate it should
See https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8449
They don't want to hear it and locked the conversation.
no way !!!! They can be sued like this....
Max20 refers to a rate that is 20 times faster, not a usage amount that is 20% higher.
I have the same issue. I'm on a max plan. I used claude code cli for roughly an hour today designing a website and fixing a bug in another project. except for the research/plan mode i did not use opus 4.1 but sonnet 4.5 for all of it. Yet I already reached my token limit and am now blocked for the next 3 hours. I am apparently on 39% total model usage (all models) for the week.
I got very little usage out of it today. I have not worked any different than i usual do. This must clearly be a bug
This is ridiculous, and they do not provide any answer at all. Compact also is broken after 3 or 4 messages i am getting auto compact which is way too much it looks like our context dropped to 12K.
