Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
- _diyar 2mo agoI wonder if this promotion was because of the summer holidays.
- elektor 2mo agoDoes summer holidays only apply to Europeans? I think most Americans are still largely in office for August
- MobiusHorizons 2mo agoPeople take much more time off during the summer in the USA than during other times of year. It’s somewhat regional, but it’s been true in all the place I have lived. Probably July is the most common month though because in some regions schools start sometime in August. It’s not uncommon for people to take 1-2w off during that period. More than 2w often requires extra approvals, so is less common.
- _diyar 2mo agoExactly. Say on average people take 2 weeks / 16 week off in that period, thats 12% traffic right there. And smarter people than me can probably find some extra-linear relationship between usage and required limits for uptime etc.
- Bluestein 2mo agoThis might explain the outtages today, as folks race, misguidedly or not.-
- wilg 2mo agoClaude Opus and Fable are so bad compared to GPT-5.6-Sol it's ridiculous, their desktop client is worse, and the value is worse because OpenAI has been spamming discounts. They better get their shit together at Anthropic! Edit: If you're mad I'm light on the details I have provided some in the replies.
- johnwheeler 2mo agoI don't know why this comment's getting down voted. It's absolutely true. I would also add that Anthropic seems to limit, compute, the more you use it because I'm on the Max subscription, and it just stops working for me. I'll ask it to do something and it'll say, I tried, but I couldn't do it over and over again or some variation of. But it doesn't do that at the start of my subscription, so...
- Mond_ 2mo ago> I don't know why this comment's getting down voted. Because just calling something bad does not add a lot to the conversation. It's not thoughtful, interesting, or good.
- wilg 2mo agoHuh? Comparing model quality is something everyone is constantly doing here. If you need more specifics, it speaks in an incomprehensible way, stops working lazily, does a bad job and misses things constantly, and makes a lot more mistakes. I have both a $200/mo Codex and Claude subscription and swap between them when one runs out, and I'm always more miserable when I have to use Claude. The Claude desktop app is also widely panned, as I mentioned, and for me this mainly is due to general UX and a poor remote control interface. Codex's connected machine support is top notch. I also mentioned the value of the Codex resets!
- johnwheeler 2mo agoThe thing is, is it's not a subjective thing. It's objectively bad. I think that's what the story is or the appeal of the post. It's calling out, something that everyone else thinks is so great, but it's actually really pretty bad compared to the competition. Trust me, I used to want Claude to win, but it's not.
- kelnos 2mo agoBecause "$X is bad" is boring, especially when it comes to LLMs. I use Opus 5 and it's fine. It's more chatty and sometimes a little more difficult to steer than 4.x was, but I've found the code quality of 5 to be much higher. Everyone has different experiences with these things (for example, I've never experienced what you describe), and "$X is bad" is not conducive to thoughtful discussion.
- Alephinitesimal 2mo agoI saw this announcement when it came out and completely forgot about it. That explains why Claude Code felt so surprisingly generous these past few months.
- bdcravens 2mo agoThe promotion is ending; the limits are reverting to pre-promotion levels. "From May 13, 2026 through August 19, 2026, your weekly usage limit in Claude Code is 50% higher."
- sandcat_ 2mo agoDuring this period however they’ve released models which lots of people report to be significantly more chatty. Framing it purely as a promotion ending feels like you’re giving them a bit too much credit. I doubt it’s a coincidence they started this promotion a week before the release of 4.8.
- dexwiz 2mo agoI think running a model unsupervised in anything above medium is a sucker move to burn more tokens. The high effort models can be great in limited context, but unsupervised they too often end up navel gazing. High doesn't always mean smarter, but it always burns more tokens. Medium and low seem to be decent for day to day tasks.
- ifwinterco 2mo agoThat’s my experience too, going off the deep end with CoT doesn’t meaningfully improve output on a lot of tasks but it does incinerate tokens and take longer
- flaburgan 2mo agoI am not sure the supervision is the problem, it's more the way Claude is acting in general, taking initiative that could burn thousands of token in a second. Just today I ask it a small fix on a newly pulled project, it wrote 5 lines of code but then immediately started to run the full test suites, which itself runs in docker, with several images that I didn't pull yet so it started to download everything and by the time I click stop, it already filled the context windows with dozen of hundreds of useless lines... I find it very hard to fins the sweet spot in the prompt between "do not assume, do not take initiatives" and "inform me if there is a simpler way to do what I am asking or if there are some downsides I may not have thought about".
- nostrebored 2mo agoprediction: extension of promotions because of the progressive move to codex.
- Jnr 2mo agoWith how bad Opus 5 and how expensive and limited Fable is, I would not be surprised.
- tziki 2mo agoAre there any figure to back up people moving to Codex?
- sscaryterry 2mo agoI for one, and I know of plenty others.
- anonzzzies 2mo agoI’ve been using both at the same time, but fable had me hitting my limits; even less will have me get 2x codex max instead of one of each.
- tziki 2mo agoI think the better comparison point is Opus 5. I'm also using both and I think overall I like Opus slightly better, but I'm still using Codex a lot for any project requiring image handling.
- dboreham 2mo agoNo. Here's a data point: I tried it for a few days. While it worked fine I didn't see any benefit to switching since it costs the same ($100) and I've spent a year getting up to speed on Claude usage and quirks.
- christophilus 2mo agoI moved a while back when Claude started refusing to do security audits and also failed to run properly in my sandbox without a lot of wrangling. Renamed Claude.md to agents.md and had no problems at all. There’s almost 0 switching cost.
- jdoe1337halo 2mo agoAnthropic seems cooked right now in terms of compute
- johnnyApplePRNG 2mo agoCurrently (and regularly) down, indeed.
- jrflo 2mo agoThey've been really struggling all of 2026. All of these "limited time" promos, just to have less usage than codex, and the shenanigans around "peak hour" reduction earlier in the year.
- dgellow 2mo agoTo be fair, their growth is ridiculously insane. I don't know how else that can be described
- btmiller 2mo agoIt’s like we’re hot-spotting, but across providers rather than across infrastructure!
- bpodgursky 2mo agoit looks cooked to you, because growth numbers are cooking (to them) (nobody uses claude anymore, it's too over-subscribed)
- WarmWash 2mo agoFlavor of the month LLM gets inundated and swamped with users. Sideline LLMs have free compute and offer cheap prices to draw in crowd. Becomes flavor of the month LLM. Back to step one. It should be pretty clear by now that token prices are predominately a function of available compute.
- dboreham 2mo agoMeanwhile my $100/mo subscription allows me to spank Claude all day doing the work of 4 coders and never hit any limits.
- swader999 2mo agoLooking like this will be the last month with Anthropic. Between the outages and just overall crap utility of Opus/Fable lately...
- apsurd 2mo agoalso codex + sol is really good and quite fast.
- ipsod 2mo agoI switched when 4.7 dropped, after over a year on the service. It was an immediate improvement - not even 1 hour before Codex was giving me better results with less effort.
- extr 2mo agoUnfortunately Sol does not compare to Fable at all.
- cute_boi 2mo agoAnd Fable doesn't compare to Sol at all. Fable will block on many request in name of cybersecurity, sol never does that.
- jaggederest 2mo agoThey're absolutely best in a chocolate-in-my-peanutbutter situation - I use them to adversarially review each other's changes and ping pong the branch back and forth - A makes changes, B reviews, B makes changes, A reviews. Together they're much smarter than either individually - anthropic models tend towards more creativity, openai models can get bogged down in the nitty gritty.
- adamrezich 2mo agoStick with xhigh rather than turbo for most tasks though, now that the Age of Abundant Resets seems to be well and truly over for good (and 5h limits are supposedly returning soon).
- bellowsgulch 2mo agoI have no idea why anyone would spend the money Anthropic asks for Claude models these days. There was a brief window in time when it was worth the money to use them a bit through GitHub Copilot, but there's no way in hell I'm spending that for Claude Sonnet when DeepSeek is basically doing all of my work right now.
- dboreham 2mo agoThe charge me exactly the same: $100.
- MaxPock 2mo agoWill Anthropic be the Netscape or Yahoo of our time ?
- dboreham 2mo agoThis is ridiculous neither Netscape nor Yahoo made much money (source: I worked at Netscape). Anthropic is one of the largest fastest growing businesses of all time.
- brandonhbodine 2mo agoI wonder if they schedule these promotions around training runs?
- bugglebeetle 2mo agoI forgot this was in effect. I’ve been hitting my weekly rate limits two to three days in because of needing to steer Slopus 5 with Fable. Absurd that they’re being cut further in the face of steep competition from open weights models.
- Phemist 2mo agoOn the same day that OpenAI cuts per token cost by 50% on GPT5.6 Sol. :')
- Taikhoom10 2mo ago[flagged]
- PacificSpecific 2mo agoI got a max account during this promotion and it's been very fun but I'm a little burned out and am kind of looking forward to going back and tinkering with game engines without the help of an LLM for code gen (will still use it for documentation questions but I can do that with the free tier)
- jader201 2mo agoFor fun/side stuff, handwritten code makes total sense, if you’re burnt out. For anything that makes money, it feels like a huge step down in productivity, even with the downsides of agent-assisted code.
- PacificSpecific 2mo agoOh yes I still use it at work. The max account is for home projects where I'm basically making some common tools but tailored to myself (diet tracker, note app etc). It's been great but across work and home it's just too much.
- analog_daddy 2mo agoI too have the same experience with LLM generated code. I just get burnt out reading it and all the verbosity it has. I eventually gave up reading through it and keep it as a archive of previous work, while handwriting the code. If I get stuck somewhere, I asked the agent to generate a snippet based on my archived code and what i need to achieve and manually copy paste it. I wish inline completions would have gotten better but it seems no effort is being put into it and it is frozen in time right now. Thankfully, the stuff i use this code for is simple and small scale. I can’t even begin to imagine how actual programmers are feeling about this.
- GenerWork 2mo agoWill they, though? I could see Anthropic extending it since OpenAI cut the pricing of Sol by 50% for the time being.
- kemiller 2mo agoSure seems like OAI is using their compute/capital advantage to dump. Seems improbable they're making a profit at those levels.
- Lerc 2mo agoWhy, it seems like the supply is limited by the ability to provide, and the demand is limited by market alienation. They raise their prices too high, a lot of customers will still buy but be unhappy about it, it's burning goodwill for money. If they drop their prices too low they have overwhelming demand. They could be making money hand over fist for all we know. We don't really know how much compute is being used, nor how much it cost them.
- edaemon 2mo agoWasn't that a limited time promotion from OpenRouter? I didn't see anything from OpenAI themselves.
- Paradigma11 2mo agoOnly API or also sub?
- benjiro29 2mo agoOnly on openrouter for some reason. Not OpenAI Subs/API.
- mil22 2mo agoYet another scramble to use up weekly quota before an Anthropic cliff. This isn't fun.
- __turbobrew__ 2mo agoQuite a number of the smartest people I know got scalped to work at OpenAI. I don’t know anyone who went to Anthropic. Something I think which is under emphasized is that OpenAI has the human capital in addition to the financial capital advantage over Anthropic. Over the long term I think OpenAI will produce the better experience when it comes to model quality, harness quality, and availability. I have been using codex the past few months and never looked back.
- danjl 2mo agoI suspect the net result will be that more Pro $100 subscribers upgrade to $200/mo. If you explicitly do simpler stuff with Opus, you generally have enough Fable time for most programming and planning tasks.
- system2 2mo agoAs we speak, Claude is down. I was already complaining about how extremely slow and dumb it has gotten since Opus 5. I guess this will be the last nail in the coffin for Claude. At least for me.
- tinyhouse 2mo agoI actually use claude these days mostly for mission critical tasks and code reviews. Everything else I use Sol. I have $20/month plans on both. For non-coding I also use Gemini on a $20/plan. So far I haven't had any issues but we'll see how things go. I have Qwen3.8-27B installed locally but until I upgrade my mac it's not for day to day stuff.
- htrp 2mo agothey never made money on Claude code, it was always a way to get used recommend API access to your company
- lubujackson 2mo agoI think the difference between the Anthropic token maximization approach (vibe code all the things!) and OpenAI's focus on efficiency, terseness and token reduction are going to be the defining features of who wins the long-term race. My money is on the more efficient solution. Even if Anthropic can win some benchmarks by using 3x tokens over 3x time, it is a terrible base to build toward the future. Users are no longer willing to wait exponentially long for linear improvements. And as we see from some of the Chinese models, they can quickly distill frontier models with the tax of being slower and more token-guzzling, while retaining most of the quality. The real differentiators are becoming speed and efficiency, which translate to cost and user velocity more than incremental capability improvements. It's great that frontier models can solve complex math equations, but bread and butter LLM usage (where the money is made) has already shifted from "I need the best always" to "what solves my day-to-day problems quickly and consistently". Fable usage as a percentage is flat-lining. We are already at the point where output quality is negligible. What wins going forward is cost, speed, consistency and the compounding effects of "softer" improvements to the harness.
- wilg 2mo agoOh no, I use the top shelf models every day and I really think they have a lot of room to improve in pretty much every regard. I suspect Fable usage is flatlining because it's not that good comparitively and way too expensive.
- rebolek 2mo agoI really would like to see OpenAI’s focus on efficiency but everytime I use Codex, it wastes tokens like there’s no tomorrow, hitting week limit in a day, where I’m able to use Claude just fine. Maybe it’s based on the codebase, I don’t know, but I have better results with Claude than Codex.
- jimmydoe 2mo agosame boat. gpt 5.5/5.6 goes further on its own much more often than opus 4.8/5 does. codex capped ~300k context when claude does 1m. I don't feel codex is saving tokens, and result is usually not as good imo.
- rvz 2mo agoThe 'tokenmaxxing' and the extreme gambling fiesta with Anthropic's latest Claude Code slot machine engine called 'Fable 5' which has given many subsidies and free spins of the wheel and cheaper tokens are all incompatible with the desires of their future owner: Wall Street. If Wall Street sees a single outage or a tiny drop in usage, they won't be happy and will pressure Anthropic to take away the free tokens. Better to reduce the limits now rather than to wait until Wall St. tells them to just to avoid a stock punishment.
- jedisct1 2mo agoBuy a subscription, get something different every month.
- vadansky 2mo agoTo anyone like me that switches between Codex and CC based on limits, but prefers CC to Codex, PI has been really great to migrate over. It can customize itself very easily, I was expecting to have to clone the repo or whatever, but no you can just tell it "add a manual mode where you present all changes as diffs in VSCode, letting me edit them or save to accept" and it will do it. I wish I could use my Anthropic sub with it but I heard you get banned, but at least you can use it with any other subscription or model.
- joshstrange 2mo agoI've been watching this to see if they "extend" it again, let it end, or make it permanent. I'm regularly hitting 90-100% on my $200/mo sub and will switch to Codex in a heartbeat if they drop these limits. This constant uncertainty is really annoying.
- someone4958923 2mo agoExactly this. I don't think they are in a position to not extend it.
- benjiro29 2mo agoSeeing how many people with Max accounts on Codex are complaining, your in for a rude awakening. The days that Codex was the undisputed usage king, seem to have been reversed. Its been most most noticed after they did like 20 resets in a month and half, ...
- vermarish 2mo agoThe link now says it's extended til August 31st.
- nl 2mo agoFrom their Twitter: "We hope to make this a permanent change to our plans, but strong demand for our models means that capacity may be tight over the coming weeks. We’ll keep you posted as things develop." https://xcancel.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2089798442306711646 https://xcancel.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2089798442306711646
- laylower 2mo agoThis and the word watermarking is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, me included. Like, stop toying around with token limits and just focus on more efficient models. Once the local models are good enough we are so abandoning these elephants. I'm gonna walk as soon as possible.
- throw03172019 2mo agoWas anyone impressed by Fable? I was never wowed by anything it generated.
- numandina 2mo agoIt's blowing my mind. Fable is the only AI model I use for coding, everything else is garbage for my use case.
- dgabriel 2mo agoI'm curious about your specific use case, if you're comfortable sharing it here.
- numandina 2mo agoAdvanced mesh manipulation, shader writing and editing, 3D math, spatial awareness and analysis. It's not just better, it's the only model that straight up works (sorry for the claude speak). A league of its own. Don't take my word for it, use a simple prompt of "create a shader showing [complex scene]" and see what the other models vomit out, including opus 4.6/4.8/5 and 5.6 sol (compare fable low effort with sol xhigh).
- hnbad 2mo agoVehicle physics/dynamics in my case and yes, same. I got a lot of mileage out of letting it use Opus/Sonnet sub agents for much of the exploratory and implementation work, which cuts down on token use. I got into way fewer "oh, that's nonsense? what about this then?" loops with Fable and it was the first model that actually tried to reason about the full system rather than fixating on details and chasing bits and pieces out of context. Haven't tried Sol yet but so far haven't had a reason to switch.
- numandina 2mo agoNo need to switch as they give out free trials and Sol Is available on the 20$ plan. It's very fast for its power. I ask it for insight, read the responses myself, and offer its points back to Claude. More efficient than letting them talk to each other.
- indigodaddy 2mo agoIf Anthropic doesn't figure out why OpenAI is eating their lunch, they're in some trouble. I'm guessing they already know why, but aren't able to accept that they won't somehow come out #1. Or in fact they really believe they will still come out #1. Delusion?
- Adrig 2mo agoAh, forgot about that. I was questioning if I should switch my big subscription to ChatGPT (was on the 20$ Open AI and 100$ Claude), seems like a no brainer now
- nekusar 2mo agoAnd in the end, selling tokens ENCOURAGES the companies to sell more tokens. And how do they sell more tokens? "Thinking" aka 'trust us bro!' without proof of thinking. Making the model waste more tokens. Advertisement: aka you pay to be advertised at. Silently downgrading you and still faking models with the more costly tokens. Intentional strategies to eat more tokens with no real gains. Giving out almost-but-not-quite solutions that require another pull of the slo(t/p) machine.
- ryanSrich 2mo agoFor anyone on the fence, I was a hardcore CC user since it was released. I made the full switch to 5.6 sol and Codex about a month ago. It's the better experience. The limits are way higher (I almost never burn through my $200/m plan), and the output is better than Opus 4.8 (Opus 5 is completely unusable for me).
- ramoz 2mo agoYou're underselling how good/reliable 5.6 sol is. It's in the fable discussion league not Opus4.8
- ryanSrich 2mo agoI haven't used fable since they brought it back. But based on my experience before they removed it, I would agree that sol is pretty close.
- SomeHacker44 2mo agoI use Claude and Antigravity CLI as an (Arch) Linux desktop system administrator a lot lately. Is Codex useful for that too?
- christophilus 2mo agoNot sure what Antigravity is, but Sol is good at sysadmin tasks.
- SomeHacker44 2mo agoAntigravity (at least Antigravity CLI which I use) is the CLI coding (?) agent harness from Google that uses Gemini as the model. There are other models available but I haven't tried them.
- brotchie 2mo agoYep, switched from CC to 5.6 Sol. Not using it in my day job (only side projects), but I can crank 5.6 Sol on Extra High "fast mode" and never have to worry about credits. Not doing crazy multi agent swarms, but have yet to hit any limits during pretty intense weekend sessions.
- skerit 2mo agoMeanwhile every time their servers go down, your caches go down with it and you can pay for your entire context again. This sucks even harder when you like to use parallel subagents.
- dmix 2mo agoThis is a very bad time for them to be doing this when other plans are being very liberal and catching up to Fable. I predict they will revert this decision once they see their sub numbers drop.
- dofm 2mo agoSo your dealer has cut your drugs, isn't always available when he says he's going to be, and the price is going up?
- righthand 2mo agoThe "...aaaand it's gone" meme now applies to tokens and money at the same time. Clever AI future we live in!
- EagleEdge 2mo agoI have both chatGPT pro and Claude max accounts and I am considering switching Claude for Grok. Despite all those claude hypes, for me personally, claude just does not match codex in almost all tasks, both coding and non-coding.
- aic0d3r 2mo agoconsumer hardware is moving towards local ai and the models you can run now locally are already at opus 4.6 level. within 3 years most pc's sold will be ai computers.
- GlickWick 2mo agoThe cost and knowledge required to do that is not viable for the average consumer. Same reason the whole OpenClaw thing imploded.
- andrekandre 2mo ago> the whole OpenClaw thing imploded has it really imploded... ? seems like just a month or so ago it was the new hotness [0] [0] https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/from-clawdbot-to-moltbot-to-openclaw/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/from-clawdbo...
- the_sleaze_ 2mo agoThis is true for the next 6 months if that. The future is models baked into directly into hardware, onto bare metal, serving 10k+ tokens/sec. We can have our little models, they'll be serving a different customer.
- maxdo 2mo agoI’m supporting you as a company , but since grok 4.6 and codex , it’s just stupid to go with your pricing model . Cursor + grok + router that uses open ai and a bit of anthropic to verify tests etc it’s a no brainer . Why should I pay you money , and have slower model and less intelligence? Oh yeah and I do not care about limits with cursor ultra at all . Unlike with you .
- satvikpendem 2mo agoCursor really is the best deal right now, the amount of usage you get with Grok is amazing and you can use frontier OpenAI or Anthropic models if you ever need to but most code can be written well by Grok.
- Doohickey-d 2mo agoIt's not great if you don't want to use the Grok models though (and I don't, because it's now an Elon product), and if using Claude models via Cursor, the usage I get is way less, I was sometimes spending $60/month with Cursor and I get more with CC $18/month "Pro". But CC took some getting used to, I also prefer the Cursor interface (the legacy "chat" pane).
- satvikpendem 2mo agoWell yes, obviously it's not a good deal if you don't want to use its main product that they subsidize. If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bike.
- christophilus 2mo agoHave you used their CLI? I run everything in VMs or containers to prevent access to things on my host.
- KronisLV 2mo agoSo I upgraded to their Max 20x for nothing, then. Guess Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 it is, then.
- isodev 2mo agoI don't know, we've been the tiny hamsters in the biggest A/B test ever, I'm possibly very tired of the token/limits game. This is clearly not how this can be monetised (if that's even possible)
- joduplessis 2mo agoI've never wanted to punch a meta physical entity in the face more, than I do Claude. I realised a lot of the AI context fatigue was from having to try and comprehend the absolute ridiculous wording. I cancelled my sub a while back (obviously).
- shymaple 2mo agoYeah, this is going to matter for me. Most of my sessions are long scoping/architecture conversations rather than coding loops.
- yalogin 2mo agoI have already moved away from anthropic for debugging and design in general and this will force me to look elsewhere for coding too
- andyjohnson0 2mo agoThe whole thing seems pretty opaque. I have a personal Pro subscription that I'm using exclusively with Claude Code on personal projects. I have no idea how close I'm currently getting to any limits, or whether that will start happening tomorrow. Nothing I've been able to find has really clarified it either way.
- wccrawford 2mo agoI've been using it on a few personal projects and run into the limits quite often. With Sonnet on high, I often hit right about the 5 hr mark when it resets. With Opus, I'll hit sooner. I'm kind of surprised that you haven't been watching it with /usage to see where you're at. I've had a couple times that it ran out and lost what it was doing and had to start over, so I've gotten more careful. And the time it burned $100 credit (that they gave us) and the fizzled with multiple agents, leaving me nothing of that work... Well, that was certainly instructive.
- andyjohnson0 2mo ago> I'm kind of surprised that you haven't been watching it with /usage to see where you're at. TIL about the /usage command... Thanks! And I suspect you're pushing Claude a lot harded than I am.
- wccrawford 2mo agoThen you'll probably also like /statusline too :D You just give it instructions on what you want to see down there, and it'll set it up. I like the model name and context.
- rietta 2mo agoThat is about the time I started using Claude Code as a paid account at any level. Previously I was extremely skeptical. Overall, it works and it has sorted out some things I would have probably let go for a lot longer especially with the markup on my very ancient website. Markup issues, template migrations, maintaining stringent preservation going back to HTML that was hand crafted in the late 1990s. I also learned quickly you cannot ask the magic 8 ball to solve things. You have to make it read, and plan, and then review and go back and forth with it. This can legitimately take hours. The difference is I can oft get most of the website modernized rather than just some of it following the more traditional methods. I've also seen how one can hit those limits pretty quickly, if they are going down from here that will make it less useful. And no way I am paying more on a usage credit basis. Prior to this, all my code work had been strictly with local AI as the inference engine and I can go back to that. Edit to add: As a 3 month experiment, it has been positive. I have gotten things to work that none of the people I have hired and paid over the years took care of. And I myself have been too busy to prioritize. It's a useful tool, but only a fool would think it replaces the judgment of a professional. Not yet anyway.
- enraged_camel 2mo agoThey extended it: https://x.com/claudedevs/status/2089798442306711646 https://x.com/claudedevs/status/2089798442306711646
- wccrawford 2mo agoSomeone here suggested they might keep it forever. Good to see they're considering it. Thanks!
- jdswain 2mo agoA cautionary note. Your Claude account is tied to your email address, and it cannot be changed. If you lose access to your email address (I sold the domain), you cannot access your Claude account any more, you cannot change the email address, you can't cancel it, and the billing continues. This happened to me, so far two months without any progress with Claude support trying to resolve it. Chatbot support got no response, email support got a single response after a month saying it had been passed on to another team to resolve. Mostly just silence.
- ajhai 2mo agoAnthropic has just announced extending the limits through August 31st with plans to make the new limits permanent. https://xcancel.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2089798442306711646 https://xcancel.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2089798442306711646
- 2001zhaozhao 2mo agoI was just gonna blast them for the infinite promo extensions and Fable, but at least they apparently have noticed this indecisiveness problem themselves and making it permanent is definitely the best way to solve it, lol! After they perma-extended Fable into including it into the max plan, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with this one.
- vardalab 2mo agoOpus yesterday produced this gem: "Standing where it stood." I replied, "never stop stopping!" and we had a stalemate, lol

- try-working 2mo agoSo their only answer to DeepSeek V4, Kimi K3, GPT 5.6 price cuts on Luna (80%) and Sol (50% on OpenRouter) is to temporarily extend usage limits, then keep extending past the deadline every two weeks because they still don't have an answer. May through August, that's like 5 years in this industry and speaks volumes.

- sushantmondal 2mo agoEveryone says that you hit token limits after some time using either Claude Code or its web version. Even though GPT 5.5 is cheaper and doesn't impose token limits, it's just too non-nuanced. The only points for which I still stick to using Claude are these: - I actually rarely hit the token limits using my $20/mo web plan (switch chats when the current one feels "bloated" due to huge context and therefore the token drain), which even covers some of my coding sessions using Claude Code. - The visuals and "interactive" elements are still not introduced in GPT's web UI, unlike Claude's. - The nail in the coffin is the fact that Opus 4.8/5 is just BETTER at doing my RTL verification review jobs than GPT 5.5. I am not glazing the model; it's just a personal preference for getting the job done...
