There's a free, open-source tool called OmniRoute that installs on your own machine and sits between Claude Code and 290 model providers — 90+ of which have free tiers. Here's why it matters 👇 You're mid-build, it's going well, and then the 5-hour window runs out. Now you either wait or upgrade — and either way you've lost the thread of what you were doing. That's the real cost. Not the money, the 90 minutes of context you have to rebuild. With this wired in, the session doesn't stop. Your Claude plan is still first in line — but the second it's spent, the next request goes to a free model and the work keeps moving. It also compresses what you send before it leaves your machine, so you burn through your paid window a lot slower too. One honest thing: this does NOT make Claude unlimited. Your Anthropic limits don't change. What survives is the *tool* — a different model does the boring 80% while you save your good model for the hard part. I put together a short step-by-step guide — the two-command install, the lane setup that decides what runs free vs paid, and the one data rule you don't break (free providers still see your prompts). About 10 minutes. 👉 Grab it here: https://flicker-celestite-7b6.notion.site/Never-Hit-a-Claude-Code-Limit-Again-The-Free-Fallback-Lane-OmniRoute-3acd180d8c808148a2f2e7eed821b17b?source=copy_link What kills your sessions more — hitting the limit, or losing context when it dies?
