I’m curious whether others are experiencing the same issue recently with Claude Pro and especially 4.6 Thinking. I asked Claude to refine one professional email and it consumed 26% of my usage allowance. A handful of normal prompts now seems to burn through limits extremely quickly compared to a few months ago. Has Anthropic changed: * token accounting? * context handling? * hidden reasoning usage? * Pro plan limits? * model efficiency/pricing internally? For people using Claude heavily for writing, strategy, coding, or business work: * Have you noticed a major drop in practical usage? *...

Over the past six months I’ve been helping non-technical users get more out of Claude, while making plenty of mistakes myself. These are the patterns that consistently gave the biggest quality lift. **1. Ask Claude to plan first, then execute** Instead of: *Write me a sales email* Try: *Before writing, list the 4 things this email needs to do well. Then write it.* Same model, better scaffolding. **2. Paste examples, not adjectives** “Write in a friendly tone” is vague. Pasting 2–3 paragraphs you’ve written yourself and saying “match this voice” works much be...

I have a Pro plan and assumed I would be on the safe side for professional usage, as I generally am with ChatGPT. Instead, several times I was blocked in the middle of real work sessions without any meaningful warning beforehand. When you use AI professionally, this is extremely disruptive. The biggest problem is not even the existence of limits, every AI provider has limits. The real issue i...

I use Claude to help track my weight loss and build healthier habits. I’m currently overweight and have already lost 15kg. The frustrating part is that Claude now triggers eating disorder/crisis popups over phrases like: \- “weigh-in” \- “kitchen closed” \- “today’s weight” …even though Claude itself originally recommended those exact phrases to me. I understand why safety systems exist, but these are false positives in a normal weight loss conversation and it’s becoming so disruptive that I’m honestly close to stopping using Claude altogether. Has anyone found a way to reduce this? Be...
