Weekly limit still hurts even over sonnet or opus 5.5

A user on Reddit expressed frustration with weekly usage limits, even after switching to opus 5.5 and sonnet 5.5, which significantly reduced token usage. Despite only using 30-50% of their session limit on average, they sometimes hit the weekly cap within three days. They have attempted to mitigate this by minimizing connectors and skill lengths, such as using a custom 300-line skill instead of the Soul skill for humanizing. Initial prompts, especially when using Claude code with a repository, can consume up to 40k tokens in the first message.

This user's experience highlights how weekly limits can still be a pain point, unlike session limits, even with more efficient models like Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5.
