I subscribed to test out this 'AI' and the free answers were quite impressive. I subscribed to the Pro plan and started chatting with the chatbot. I sent EIGHT messages and now I am at the "Session Limit" until several hours later at 3 in the morning.
EDIT: I've checked and those EIGHT messages have cost me 12% of my weekly limit.
Is this a joke? I'm not the biggest supporter of AI but I do try them out every once a while to see what's happening. Both ChatGPT and Gemini give me dozens of messages before I would reach any limit. DeepSeek is completely free and I haven't run into a block yet.
I haven't even reached any sort of 'resolution' with the chatbot. We barely got through a few problems and then all of a sudden I am at a limit. ChatGPT at least had the courtesy to tell you that you're getting close and to plan accordingly but Claude just stops out of nowhere.
From "About Claude's Pro Plan Usage":
"you can expect to send around 45 messages every five hours, often more depending on Claude’s current capacity"
Honestly, even with the 'Max' plan this is absurdly low. I'd get 45 messages with a $100 plan and 180 for $200/month? That's insane.
I hope my refund request is honored otherwise I'm issuing a chargeback. This is unacceptable.
UPDATE: Of course it wasn't. Anthropic actively lies and misleads and then refuses to refund me after EIGHT MESSAGES. Issuing a chargeback immediately. Holy shit this is so much worse than any other AI company out there.
I did some math and if 8 messages took 12% of my weekly limit then that means I have a limit of 72 messages... per week. If I were to have 45 per 5 hours, I 'd have 1,512 message limit. So they have lied by 1,440 messages.
Dispute and report to my bank has been sent.

I'm using Claude code and encountering "Session limit reached" but when I resets at the given time, it takes a long time to reset in fact, it's doing : Incubating, clauding, Spelunking, Inferring,... I cannot name that all, it just rotate these words, in many cases I just quit and restart a new session, then encountering same thing, then I restart another one, until maybe 10 mins later I can reset finally, why this happens, how to speed it up my reset process?
I've been using Claude Code for two months so far and have never hit the limit. But yesterday it stopped working and gave a cooldown for 4 days. If its limit resets every 5 hours, why a cooldown for 4 days? I tried usage-based pricing, and it charged $10 in 10 minutes. Is there something wrong with new update of Claude code?
