"People are hitting usage limits in Claude Code way faster than expected. We're actively investigating... it's the top priority for the team."
"I used up Max 5 in 1 hour of working, before I could work 8 hours."
"I found two independent bugs that cause prompt cache to break, silently inflating costs by 10-20x."
"The cache significantly reduces processing time and costs for repetitive tasks or prompts with consistent elements."
Users of Claude Code are experiencing significant issues with high token usage and early quota exhaustion, which disrupts their workflow. Anthropic has acknowledged the problem, stating that users are hitting usage limits faster than anticipated. Factors contributing to this include reduced quotas during peak hours, potential bugs inflating costs, and a recent promotion ending that doubled usage limits. Users have reported that downgrading to an older version of Claude Code has improved their experience, while the prompt caching system has limitations that can lead to increased costs.
