Claude with Sonnet medium effort just used 100% of my session limit, some extra dollars, thought for 53 minutes, and said: API Error: Claude's response exceeded the 32000 output token maximum. To configure this behavior, set the CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS environment variable.

You're using it within their high usage rate window. I hope you're aware of this, if you use it out of the high usage time window it's supposed to use less, but it does seem a little odd that Sonnet uses so much, even on Medium.

  Ah so we are only supposed to use this work tool outside of work hours?

    No, you're supposed to make all your hours work hours. This is the way of AI.

    “Work tool” Please. This is a toy. A novel little tech-toy. If you depend on it now for doing your job then, frankly, you deserve to have your rug pulled now and then.

      If you didn't found the way to use the tool constructively, keep trying. If you didn't try to use it to work for you, that's okay, but maybe try once more? It does work and adds value. It's a non-standard and weirdly flexible tool with limitations. ...but in retrospect, seeing how you finished your comment, maybe you really want to remain angry and misinformed.

    If you're on a personal tier, they prioritize those on the business tier yes.

Just curious, what version of Max are you on: 5x or 20x?

Just copy and past the error back to Claude and you will be able to continue. I have seen this many times over the past few months. I thought it was related to AWS bedrock that I have been using - but probably not.

I don't think i'd let it think more than 5 minutes without killing the process.

  They changed it do all of the changes in a virtual cloud environment, then dump the final result at the end of the response. Before it would stream changes, so if it made a minimal fix, then decided to go off on a tangent you could stop it quickly. Now you have to wait 5+ minutes to get a single line of code out of it just to find out it also refactored everything and burned a stack of tokens. No amount of prompting seems to force it to make incremental changes locally.

    > They changed it do all of the changes in a virtual cloud environment, then dump the final result at the end of the response. That’s a hallucination. All they did was hide thinking by default. Quick Google search should easily teach you how to turn it back on (I literally have it enabled in my harness).

      Is anything that might be wrong or misinformation now a “hallucination”?

        Can you blame them for believing thinking tokens are completely hidden now? Anthropic has changed the way to see it 3 times in 3 months with no warnings or visible upgrade path. First it was shown by default, then you had to press control+o, then control+t, then it got locked behind a settings.json, then you had to manually enable with --verbose, now it's some random ENV var. Whoever is their product manager should be embarrassed at the UX they provide.

I hope this doesn't come out wrong but. When this happens do agentic/vibe coders message their boss and say "sorry can't work until tomorrow?"

  I write down the time I run out of tokens each day and pray my employer will pay for more

  People hired to do jobs they cannot do have many, many more methods than that. For thousands of years.
