What are claude code usage limits like with pro subscription?
May 1, 2025 - My tip: try batching or chunking your tasks into smaller pieces if you gotta stick with the $20 plan. Also, keep an eye on how many API calls your sub-agents make — optimizing that could keep you below limits and still get the job done.

Claude code Pro, 4 hours of usage.
Wow. 4 hours is way longer than I expected, even with a smaller project. Need to give it a go myself! More on reddit.com

Claude Pro usage limits
"45 messages per conversation" isn't how it works. It depends on the length of the message, whether you upload accompanying docs, etc. There is no way to guarantee exactly how long your chats can be. You get a set # of tokens per calendar day, and the rate at which tokens are used will dynamically change over the time of day based on demand. I suggest you look through the performance megathread to get a feel for whether people that are complaining about their limits are using it for similar purposes as you intend, and that might give you a better idea what to expect. Keep in mind there's a lot of negativity in there, and you should take what is said there with a very big grain of salt. More on reddit.com

Sonnet 4 is excellent for coding. I imagine the use limits will be annoying though. (I hit them all the time with Max haha) More on reddit.com

Claude Code Limit Hit on Max Plan?! What to do next: | by Sevak Avakians | Medium
October 3, 2025 - Nope, I had it in “Opus Plan Mode”: Use Opus 4.1 in plan mode, Sonnet 4 otherwise. Hmm, maybe its a bug. Let me switch to “Default”: Opus 4.1 for up to 50% of usage limits, then use Sonnet 4.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude code Pro, 4 hours of usage.
June 5, 2025 -

/cost doesn’t tell me how many tokens I’ve used. But after 4 hours I’m at my limit. My project is not massive, and I never noticed more than a few k tokens on occasion. It would be good to know what the limits are and I might move to max.
