Hey everyone, I’ve seen a few posts lately about people hitting their usage limits way faster than usual, so I know I’m not alone. I’m a Pro user and I’ve been using Claude Code (via terminal) connected to my Obsidian vault for engineering research. Lately, it’s been a disaster. I’m burning through my entire daily/period limit in 4 or 5 prompts. I’m a non-coder/tech noob, so I’m wondering: Is there something we’re doing wrong all of a sudden? My usage pattern hasn’t changed, but it feels like the “cost” of a single prompt has tripled. A few things I’m curious about: Context Bloat: Is the CLI sending my entire Obsidian vault back to Anthropic with every single follow-up question? If yes, why the hell was there no problem before?? If you’re using it for research, how are you managing the “context window” so it doesn’t eat your quota? The “Anthropic Side”: Has anyone heard if they’ve changed the token weighting for terminal usage or maybe just overall usage? Alternatives: I really want to stay with Claude, but I need to get work done. Can OpenAI Codex be used via the terminal in the same way (indexing local files/vaults)? Since I’m still learning the tech side, is it an easy transition? I love the output I get, but 5 prompts max per session makes it unusable. Any advice on settings to toggle or if I should just wait for a patch? submitted by /u/0bjective-Guest
