Hacker NewsOct 17 Yeah the Claude/anthropic usage is quite arbitrary, I also run through my entire 20x pro plan in 1-2 days. Codex has slightly better usage levels, but is annoying to use for many reasons. DeepSeek flash (direct or via opencode go) is the best value model I've found so far.Hacker News comments · aleqsOpen ↗App Store reviewsOct 4 Sorry...I can no longer use. My appeals were rejected without any meaningful explanation. Very disappointing experience. Goodbye, Claude. Nationalists.Claude App Store reviewsOpen ↗Hacker NewsSep 2 Were Claude's Weekly Limits Cut in Half? (and obscured by another 50% "deal"?)...the rate. 100% of a 5-hour session is now using 20% of my weekly capacity, not 10%. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm on a max plan, btw.Ask HN · benwills2 points, 3 repliesOpen ↗
