For claude code max users who hit usage limits pretty quick, check /usage, it will tell you where the most consuming happened. If you had not setup a neat harness setup, do so!! Always first design and plan your build in one sesion, and break the build into slices. For each slice, one session. Never let multiple slices in one session. Don’t do auto-compact and continue in the same session. Always open a new session when one slice is done. Use tools like context-mode , it save a little. and if your project knowledge base/docs are too large, keep them organized in obsidian style wikis. My RAM is 32GB, so i can only run 4 simul builds along with containers up and running. Right now I have 3 more days for next reset and im about to hit 60%. So i guess with an organized workflow, I will hit my limit around 6th day of the weekly timing; and i guess that’s fine!! Also notably I have only used 9% of Fable. Honestly i don’t have any other option. Claude code harness and it’s LLM intelligence is better than codex/chatgpt in terms of Software Engineering. Oh and also make sure to setup a model router! like only design/plan happens with Opus 4.8 (my default model; i idid not like opus 5), and the build happens with Sonnet, and minimal tasks like search and retrieval happens with haiku… – make sure to set this up… Basically you gotta do some context-engineering/harness tweak. And then it works pretty decent. submitted by /u/pugazh_is_my_name
