Anthropic users report decreased Claude usage limits and higher token costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Users are reporting significantly decreased usage limits and increased token consumption across Anthropic's Claude models. Recent updates, including the "5.0 releases" and models like Fable and Astra, are noted to use substantially more tokens than previous versions such as Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.7. This combination of reduced limits and higher token usage is leading to frustration among users who feel they can no longer perform extensive tasks within the new constraints. AI

IMPACT Users are experiencing reduced utility and increased costs for AI tasks due to tighter limits and more token-hungry models.
