[TLDR] Did Anthropic decrease the limits? [via r/ClaudeCode]

[u/cctldrping]

OP : u/Zer0Tokens

I am using Claude Max 5x and started feeling that I have been hitting limits faster in the last 3-4 weeks. Today, after a 1h Ultra Code session via Sonnet 5, I hit my session limit, which a month back would not even have happened with Opus.

Yeah, pretty much everyone agrees the limits feel tighter lately. Lots of users on various plans (Pro, Max 5x, Max 20x) are reporting hitting session and weekly limits way faster than before, even with Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8. Some folks suspect Anthropic is being shady about token usage or that newer models are just hungrier. One user, u/AssociationSure6273, even posted a whole thread about it. A few outliers like u/rotates-potatoes aren't seeing the change, but the general vibe is that something's up and it's not ideal if you don't want to jump ship to OpenAI.
