Claude Code users are exhausting usage limits dramatically faster than expected, with some Claude Pro subscribers only able to use the tool 12 of 30 days and Max 5 plan users maxing out in a single work hour. Anthropic acknowledges this is a top priority, citing three likely causes: recent quota reductions during peak hours, the end of a promotion that doubled limits, and potential bugs in Claude Code that break prompt caching and inflate token costs 10-20x. Some users found a workaround by downgrading to version 2.1.34.
