A developer using Claude Code on a $100 plan is experiencing a significantly faster reach of the 5-hour usage limit than usual.…
Hi everyone,
This is the second time I've hit the 5-hour usage limit on my $100 plan while using Claude Code. I've been using Claude Code for a while and have never experienced this issue before.
I'm a developer and use it across different projects, mainly with Fable and Opus 5, but I've never hit the limit this quickly until today. It suddenly started happening, and I'm trying to figure out what's changed.
At first, I suspected that a Claude plugin or some redundant skills might be causing excessive usage, so I removed them, but I'm still hitting the limit surprisingly fast.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there something happening with Claude Code, the usage limits, or the way context/skills/plugins are being counted that I might be missing?
Any insight would be appreciated.
