I literally hit my 5 hour window limit in 1.5 hours every single day now.
2 weeks ago, I had only hit my limit a single time and that was when I had multiple agents doing codebase audits.

Anthropic had a special extra usage promotion going on during non-peak hours that ended recently.
They didn’t do a great job of explaining it. I wonder how many people got used to the 2X limits and now think Anthropic has done something bad by going back to normal
They also reduced the peak time limits, so it's not just the promotion.
Naw, it's not that. This is business-day usage for all of it.
Irrelevant. I had at least ten times more usage then at any time
Could it also have anything to do with Anthropic being deliberately opaque about usage in general?
Are you monitoring the size of your context windows? As they grow, so does the cost of every operation performed in that state.
We hit that problem 3 or 4 weeks ago and then we rolled back to version 2.1.44 and that apparently solved the fast consumption issue.
Our problems started when we moved to the claude code installer (it only affected the people who had updated) instead of using the npm version. Last week someone tried the installer version again and problems seem to have gone away. This is somewhat very anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt.
They've been running a "double credits" promo for several weeks, which expired on the first of this month.
I've been using Codex extensively, 5.4 at "Extra High" and yet to hit a limit. The $20 plan
It very much depends on the workloads. If you inspect existing code (that somebody else wrote over the years) usage runs out quickly. If you are building your own greenfield stuff the sky is the limit.

That's EXACTLY and ALL I've been doing!
Using Codex and Claude both side by side to view my Godot components framework open source project (link in profile)
Claude has been..ugh.. bad, to put it mildly, on the same content and the same prompts.
