I just start new chats whenever the chat gets long (in terms of number of tokens). It's kind of a pain to have to form a prompt that encapsulates enough context, but it has prevented me from hitting the Pro limit. Also, I include more questions and detail in each prompt. Why does that work? Claude includes the entire chat with each new prompt you submit [0], and the limit is based on the number of tokens you've submitted. After not too many prompts, there can be 10k+ tokens in the chat (which are all submitted in each new prompt, quickly advancing towards the limit). (I also have a chatGPT sub and I use that for many questions, especially now that it includes web search capabilities) [0] https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/8324991-about-claude-pro-usage https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/8324991-about-clau...
