So today I started my PC at 3 PM, and by 3:30 I had already hit my limit on the Max x5 subscription. Luckily, there were only 30 minutes left until the reset, so at 4 PM I got back to work… but then it hit me again. After just two prompts, I had already used 90% of my limit. After some debugging, I realized the issue seems to happen when I run: claude -> /resume old-session-x That’s when the token usage starts exploding. But hitting the max limit in ~5 prompts on a Max plan? That feels unreasonable. I tried everything: Turned off OpenClaw Uninstalled the Claude API proxy Removed the OpenClaw node Restarted everything Nothing worked, and tokens kept getting consumed like crazy. Eventually, I tried Codex (which currently has a free subscription, similar to Claude Code). I used it on one of my projects, and honestly, it performed really well. I got exactly what I needed without hitting limits. What worked for me: Wait for your limit to reset Go through all your sessions ( claude -> /resume session ) In each session, save important context into an .md file Use another ai in parallel to read the md files and migrate to it Lesson learned: Don’t rely on a single tool. submitted by /u/Zweckbestimmung
