Exactly as the title says. I noticed my usage limits have been higher than any Opus model has given me in the past. I remember with Opus 4.1 it started out good but then they slowly started reducing usage limits over time. I assume Anthropic wants users to thoroughly test the new model, thus why the limits are high right now. They will likely start slowly reducing it again to encourage people to pay for higher tiers.
I have the Pro tier at the moment and its been great.

The past few days I have yet to reach a limit warning using Claude Code with Sonnet. With Opus 4 I get the warning of 2 minutes of it thinking on a problem..

Reached limits rather quickly!
Context for my use case:
Started 2 separate chats selecting the same project with a knowledge base size at 14%.
On one chat, I was using Opus 4, Sonnet 4 on the other.
On both chats, I began the conversation by uploading a Google Doc with around 15000 words of text.
On the Opus 4 chat, I performed a “critique my draft” based task. I ran 3 queries before I reached limits.
Alongside, on the Sonnet 4 chat, I engaged in 2 web searches. This is when I reached the limits on the Opus 4 tab.
Hey everyone,
I recently subscribed to Claude Pro and today I used Claude Opus 4.1 to create a portfolio website. It actually generated the whole site in one go, but right after that single prompt I got locked out for about 4.5–5 hours.
So now I’m wondering:
Is this lockout/usage limit only for Opus 4.1?
Or does it apply across other models too like Sonnet 4, Opus 4, Sonnet 3.7, Opus 3, Haiku 3.5, etc.?
What are the actual daily or weekly limits?
I mainly got Pro because I want to use Claude for learning LLMs, interview prep, and practicing coding by doing projects but I’m not sure how restricted I’ll be if I keep hitting limits like this.
Anyone else run into the same issue?
Does GitHub copilot or cursor give more usage for price?
I started using CC with sonnet 4.5 and never hit any limits and did continuos development but yesterday after just using 2-3 hours of Opus 4.5 but limit hit. Now I used it for 3 hours and my current session is already at 70% then I switched to Sonnet 4.5 and its increasing at the same rate and I'm about to hit limit before 5 hours complete. How does that even make any sense?
I'm at a startup and we used to share the CC Max plan at times and never hit limit, but since Opus 4.5 release I'm hitting limits for the first time. Anyone experiencing same issue?
