Just give me a subscription tier where I’m not being blocked out every afternoon. Im hitting rate limits within 1:45 during afternoons. I can’t justify extra usage since it’s a variable cost, but I can justify a higher subscription tier.

even higher than $200? gosh, what are you doing to hit limits every day?

    Sorry guy, this has nothing to do with professional software development :D

  For me it's surprising that they expected anything other than heavy utilisation at that price point. People don't subscribe at those prices and forget about it.

    All these companies are offering quite generous subscription plans if you compare to API pricing. There's gotta be a limit; nobody can afford to have tons of users who are losing them money every month.

      Perhaps. So let them come clean about what they can offer. At that price, people are going to make the best of their subscription whatever it is that's on offer. Time to compete on value with the Chinese.

You can set the monthly extra usage cap to $1000 or something to cap how much it can cost per month. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-manage-extra-usage-for-paid-claude-plans https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12429409-manage-extra...

    Then maybe it's not worth using Claude Code that much.

    It seems like you have an impossible ask? Why not 4 subscriptions to last you 5 hours?
    - charcircuit 7mo ago
      You are not allowed to use multiple accounts to bypass the rate limit. You can only use different accounts for different uses like a work account and then a personal account. You can't rotate through 5 for personal use.

        Ah, I missed that. Guess that makes sense and is a reasonably fair way to limit excessive users.

    Sounds backwards -- your company is getting the benefits of your increased productivity and doesn't want to pay for it. Im not sure that's Anthropics problem? It's like I was a graphic designer and my finance company said "photoshop is too expensive". I wouldn't be mad at Adobe for it

Based on the way subscriptions work for every other business, if you’re hitting the limits, you are not profitable for them. My guess is a plan with double the limits would need to be 5-10x as expensive.

  This is only an issue between 12pm and ~4pm ET. If I work at any other time of day, I never hit my usage limit.

Extra usage seems like the right thing for you. It's pre-paid so if you only ever fill in $100 more per-month it works as a higher subscription tier.

Maybe start actually working and PROGRAMMING instead of simply cheating and ruining the job market at the same time? Usage of such tools should be forbidden in companies - its cheating and using code you didn't even wrote. thsts literally a crime

  "Should be forbidden in companies"? I think you need to see some fresh headlines and read a few articles. I presume that if you're such a vocal opponent of CC, you're also fighting using IDEs and other tools useful in software engineering, like CI pipelines? Emacs/vim and make should be the maximum a person is permitted!
