A lot of people are going back in fourth on the rate-limits. Some saying it’s broken, others saying “I never hit it in weeks!”. It’s random. As crazy as that sounds. I just asked Claude to refactor a ~450 line .java file into two files (One parent, one child). Super straight forward and simple. It hit the entire 100% limit in this single prompt. I’ve never managed this fast of a rate limit before. 0-100%. This is with the Pro plan, Opus 4.6 + Extended thinking on the browser. I do this VERY often when cleaning up code, it’s usually a ~5ish percent task. Same with the quality of answers. Totally random. Sometimes it’ll think for ~1 second and spit out something utterly useless. Other times it’ll think for several minutes and completely one-shot my prompt. Has nothing to do with what I’m asking, same prompt different time in the day. So to conclude: Quit arguing, you are likely not experiencing the same symptoms as others. Saying “I never hit the limits, you must be doing something wrong” isn’t helping anyone. submitted by /u/Own-Professor-6157
