r/claude on Reddit: Session limit reached - Is this a joke?
October 10, 2025 -
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.

Did some planning for a project in 4.5, basic prompts for maybe 1.5 hour in total, hit the session cap and it consumed 25% of my weekly. This must be so bugged, I never had this problem 2 weeks ago. I'm seriously considering unsub and go to GPT.

Claude Code Limit Hit on Max Plan?! What to do next: | by Sevak Avakians | Medium
October 3, 2025 - I’ve been using Claude Code to get a lot of work done, these last few months using Anthropic’s Pro plan at $17/m. After hitting limits on it, I sprung for the $200/m Max plan that promises 20x more usage, rather than the $100/m 5x plan. Seemed look a good investment. Get more work done, faster. This worked well for a few weeks. But, after adding a few MCP servers to automate more work, my context windows started filling faster even in projects where MCPs were not used. ... Suddenly, I saw the warning about “Claude Opus reaching limit” show at the bottom right of my terminal.
