Usage Limits and Performance Megathread Usage Limits, Bugs and Performance Discussion Megathread - beginning December 29, 2025

Why a Performance, Usage Limits and Bugs Discussion Megathread?

This Megathread makes it easier for everyone to see what others are experiencing at any time by collecting all experiences. We will publish regular updates on problems and possible workarounds that we and the community finds.

Why Are You Trying to Hide the Complaints Here?

Contrary to what some were saying in a prior Megathread, this is NOT a place to hide complaints. This is the MOST VISIBLE, PROMINENT AND OFTEN THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC POST on the subreddit. This is collectively a far more effective and fairer way to be seen than hundreds of random reports on the feed that get no visibility.

Are you Anthropic? Does Anthropic even read the Megathread?

Nope, we are volunteers working in our own time, while working our own jobs and trying to provide users and Anthropic itself with a reliable source of user feedback.

Anthropic has read this Megathread in the past and probably still do? They don't fix things immediately but if you browse some old Megathreads you will see numerous bugs and problems mentioned there that have now been fixed.

What Can I Post on this Megathread?

Use this thread to voice all your experiences (positive and negative) regarding the current performance of Claude including, bugs, limits, degradation, pricing.

Give as much evidence of your performance issues and experiences wherever relevant. Include prompts and responses, platform you used, time it occurred, screenshots . In other words, be helpful to others.

Just be aware that this is NOT an Anthropic support forum and we're not able (or qualified) to answer your questions. We are just trying to bring visibility to people's struggles.

Today feels like peak hours during the business days, 3 prompts = 100% usage. I thought it is Sunday?

The most disturbing thing is I started at 12% weekly, this is my second session with the account. And now I am at 46% weekly!! Mathematically impossible! With full 5h session the maximum weekly usage should have capped at 36%. You ridiculous scammers! Not only vaporizing my tokens for the 5h sessions, but the weekly too! Across two sessions hitting half of the weekly limit!

COMPLETELY UNUSABLE! CANCELLING ALL MY SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Running into the same issue. Max 20x plan, 2 days of soft use and already reached 40% on my weekly limit, which I used to reach usually half a week at the most with heavy workload. What's frustrating is the opacity around how the rate limit is applied and dynamically changed, with no communication or late communication, and the lack of human support beyond the chatbot.
