This is also super relevant for everyone who had ditched Claude Code due to limits:
> For Claude and Claude Code users with access to Opus 4.5, we’ve removed Opus-specific caps. For Max and Team Premium users, we’ve increased overall usage limits, meaning you’ll have roughly the same number of Opus tokens as you previously had with Sonnet. We’re updating usage limits to make sure you’re able to use Opus 4.5 for daily work.
- TrueDuality 11mo agoNow THAT is great news
- Freedom2 11mo agoFrom the HN guidelines: > Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.
- ceejayoz 11mo agoThere's a reason they're called "guidelines" and not "hard rules".
- Wowfunhappy 11mo agoI thought the reminder from GP was fair and I'm disappointed that it's downvoted as of this writing. One thing I've always appreciated about this community is that we can remind each other of the guidelines. Yes it was just one word, and probably an accident—an accident I've made myself, and felt bad about afterwards—but the guideline is specific about "word or phrase", meaning single words are included. If GGP's single word doesn't apply, what does?
- Aeolun 11mo agoTHIS, FOR EXAMPLE. IT IS MUCH MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO READ THAN A SINGLE CAPITALIZATION OF that.
- Wowfunhappy 11mo agoBut again, if that is what the guideline is referring to, why does it say "If you want to emphasize a _word or phrase_". By my reading, it is quite explicitly including single words!
- versteegen 11mo agoImagine I capitalised a whole selection of specific words in this sentence for emphasis, how annoying that would be to read. I'll spare you. That is what the guideline is about, not one single instance.
- fabbbbb 11mo agoWhich exact part of the guideline makes you think so?
- Aeolun 11mo agoI’m saying that being pedantic on HN is a worse sin than capitalizing a single word. Being technically correct isn’t really relevant to how annoying people think you are being.
- skylurk 11mo agoI come here for the rampant pedantry. It's the legalism no one wants.
- Uehreka 11mo agoI’m not the GP, but the reason I capitalize words instead of italicizing them is because the italics don’t look italic enough to convey emphasis. I get the feeling that that may be because HN wants to downplay emphasis in general, which if true is a bad goal that I oppose. Also, those guidelines were written in the 2000s in a much different context and haven’t really evolved with the times. They seem out of date today, many of us just don’t consider them that relevant.

- js4ever 11mo agoInteresting. I totally stopped using opus on my max subscription because it was eating 40% of my week quota in less than 2h
- tifik 11mo agoI like that for this brief moment we actually have a competitive market working in favor of consumers. I ditched my Claude subscription in favor of Gemini just last week. It won't be great when we enter the cartel equilibrium.
- llm_nerd 11mo agoLiterally "cancelled" my Anthropic subscription this morning (meaning disabled renewal), annoyed hitting Opus limits again. Going to enable billing again. The neat thing is that Anthropic might be able to do this as they massively moving their models to Google TPUs (Google just opened up third party usage of v7 Ironwood, and Anthropic planned on using a million TPUs), dramatically reducing their nvidia-tax spend. Which is why I'm not bullish on nvidia. The days of it being able to get the outrageous margins it does are drawing to a close.
- bashtoni 11mo agoAnthropic are already running much of their workloads on Amazon Inferentia, so the nvidia tax was already somewhat circumvented. AIUI everything relies on TSMC (Amazon and Google custom hardware included), so they're still having to pay to get a spot in the queue ahead of/close behind nvidia for manufacturing.
- arthurcolle 11mo agoThe behavioral modeling is the product
- F7F7F7 11mo agoI was one of you two, too. After a frustrating month on GPT Pro and a half a month letting Gemini CLI run a mock in my file system I’ve come back to Max x20. I’ve been far more conscious of the context window. A lot less reliant on Opus. Using it mostly to plan or deeply understand a problem. And I only do so when context low. With Opus planning I’ve been able to get Haiku to do all kinds of crazy things I didn’t think it was capable of. I’m glad to see this update though. As Sonnet will often need multiple shots and roll backs to accomplish something. It validates my decision to come back.
- astrange 11mo agoJust avoid using Claude Research, which I assume still instantly eats most of your token limits.
- Aeolun 11mo agoIt’s important to note that with the introduction of Sonnet 4.5 they absolutely cratered the limits, and the opus limits in specific, so this just sort of comes closer to the situation we were actually in before.
- thelittleone 11mo agoThat's probably true, but whereas before I hit max 200. Limits once a week or so. Now I have multiple projects running 16hrs a day some with 3-4 worktrees, and haven't hit limits for several weeks.
- brianjking 11mo agoThey also reset limits today, which was also quite kind as I was already 11% into my weekly allocation.
- throwaway-aws9 11mo agoThanks. I unsubscribed when I busted my weekly limit in a few hours on the Max 20x plan when I had to use Opus over Sonnet. It really feels like they were off by an order of magnitude at some point when limits were introduced.
