So I did what any completely normal and mentally stable person would do and bought two Max $200/month accounts. The grand plan was simple, use one account, when it runs out switch to the other. Genius right? Yeah. About that. Both accounts burned through their limits incredibly fast AND somehow reset at the exact same time. Account #2 ran out a whole hour after account #1, yet they both decided to reset together like they’re synchronized swimming or something. So my brilliant backup plan just sits there, also locked out, also useless, both staring at me with 2-3 hour cooldown timers. I am the Claude whale. I am paying for what is effectively a 40x plan. Anthropic should have a framed photo of me in their San Francisco office. And yet here I am watching two countdown timers like its New Years Eve except nothing good happens when it hits zero, it just resets the cycle. Some genuine questions: • Why does the reset time sync up even if one account ran out earlier? That seems like a weird design choice • Is “20x usage” measured against someone who sends 4 messages a day? Asking for myself • Has anyone actually figured out a way to stagger usage across accounts to avoid this? submitted by /u/wow_98
