Burned through my monthly Claude context in 2.5 days
Upgraded to the $100 plan thinking I had headroom. Started using Claude Opus 4.7 (new last week) heavily for a real build. Parallel sessions, long context windows, deep reasoning tasks. Hit 75% of my monthly limit in 2.5 days. Never came close before. 7 day reset cycle. Math is not mathing. This is the tax on actually building with AI versus dabbling with it. The people who use it hardest pay the most and hit limits the fastest. Not complaining, just noting: the cost structure of serious AI development is still being figured out by everyone including the people selling it. Back to Opus 4.6 which worked fine. Anyone else burning through limits faster than expected this week?

You will like the Max plan. As you say, you can get something done. in the Pro plan, you just get started, and you are timed out for 2 1/2 hours. walk the dog, make dinner, then get back into it. WithMax, you can push, push, push, and when you hit the 5 hour limit, you have something. then take a half hour off, think about your next push. The weekly limit is sized for 5 days of full time work. Be sure to not waste tokens, i.e. restart after completing a functional milestone. Learn to tell Claude to update git, update the version history in the files, and update its memory.md files. Then restart it.
