have things changed around this recently? I know openai optionally allows 24 hours but thought it was ~1h without that, and anthropic used to quote 5-15 minutes or something.

Anthropic is 5 minutes, though you can pay more to get 60 minutes I believe.

The #1 was to make Claude code token quota go further is to never let the 5 minute cache TTL expire. Either send a new request within the window, or use /clear and copy/paste, or use /clear and a framework that automatically generates session state that gets replayed from files after /clear.
