maybe i’m doing something wrong, but lately my 5 hour daily limit feels like it’s getting used up insanely fast. i’ve been trying to optimize things a bit. i’m not using memory.md anymore, my claude.md files are pretty small, usually around 200 lines max, i don’t keep using the same chat forever, and i reset things pretty often. i also set up automation to trigger claude every 5 hours, but even then, the limit still seems to disappear way faster than i expected. is there anything that actually affects this? like chat history, context size, project files, long conversations, tool usage, or anything else? how are you all managing your 5 hour windows? any practical tips to make the usage last longer? submitted by /u/eaiarthur_
