I’m on Claude Max ($100/month). This week Anthropic quietly changed how session limits work: during peak hours (5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT), your tokens get consumed faster than before, meaning you can blow through your 5-hour session window well under 5 hours of actual usage. Yes, the total weekly limits are technically unchanged. But for those of us in Europe or working regular business hours, “peak hours” ARE our working hours. I now have to structure my entire workflow around a consumption window just to avoid getting cut off mid-task. That’s not a premium product experience. That’s a utility company telling you to stop using electricity during the day. Anthopic’s own staff admitted ~7% of users will hit limits they wouldn’t have before, “particularly in Pro tiers.” Their advice? Shift token-heavy jobs to off-peak hours. Great tip for people who work 2am shifts. At $100/month I’m not asking for infinite access. I’m asking for predictability and transparency. Neither of which this change delivers. EDIT: not only for $100/month. I meant for all subscribes submitted by /u/Wuffel_ch
