/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.

Pro user here. I canceled my membership, but it's not going to matter that much since I pay yearly. No pushback is going to solve this. They have defense contracts pending. We're cooked. I'm gonna test out GPT with Aider.

After using the service for 3 days, I hit the weekly limit, which means I cannot use it for the remaining 4 days of the week. Even if I use 2 sessions per day continuously for 3 days, I can only activate about 6 sessions in total. And, If I use each session intensively, I reach the session limit within about an hour. In conclusion, I cannot use the service for 4 days out of the week, and it ends after roughly 6 hours of total usage over 3 days. Paying for a monthly subscription plan just to use the service for 3 days a month — which is equivalent to about 24 hours or 3 working days per month — simply doesn’t make sense. Furthermore, so this one-sided limitation has made it effectively impossible to use the service.

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/Anthropic on Reddit: Claude Pro Limits
August 23, 2025 -
I was working on a coding project with Claude Sonnet 4 (not Claude Code), I started at 8 am, at 8 30 am I hit my usage limits. I only use about 12 prompts and Claude made 2 artifacts. It’s ridiculous that the limits are so low. I noticed this in the last 2/3 days. What I am paying for? Any suggestions?

What the heck are you guys doing? I've been coding with CC in pro plan for 6 hours today. (Hit the limit with 1 hour to go) My recommendations: Install Ccusage to the CLI to see current chat and block cost Any convo above $3 try to end/finish/summarise You'll usually get $8-10 per block (5hours) Wake up, START CC, then brush your teeth. Starting the 5hr block early means less time waiting Reduce CLAUDE.md length

I hear you. Is Pro the plan for you? Small codebase <1000 lines and 10-40 prompts 5/h. If is not, you need an upgrade to Max or change provider. https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11145838-using-claude-code-with-your-pro-or-max-plan Pro ($20/month): Average users can send approximately 45 messages with Claude every five hours, OR send approximately 10-40 prompts with Claude Code every five hours. Most Pro users can expect 40-80 hours of Sonnet 4 within their weekly usage limits. This will vary based on factors such as codebase size and user settings like auto-accept mode. Users running multiple Claude Code instances in parallel will hit their limits sooner. Model access: Pro plan subscribers can access Sonnet 4, but won’t be able to use Opus 4 with Claude Code. Best for: Light work on small repositories (typically under 1,000 lines of code)

I'm thinking of upgrading to the $20/month plan specifically to use Claude Code. Are you guys hitting the limit constantly? Just trying to figure out if it's usable for a full workday or if I'll get capped immediately.

Full workday, no way. Couple of hours, yes.

I have 3 pro plans. I cannot justify spending $100 right now. I hit my limits on sonnet 4.5 within 2-3 hrs with properly managing context. Then i switch to 2nd account and then 3rd.. post that my 1st account limit resets. That is how I roll.
