pro is the $20/mo plan that they recently started allowing access to claude code.. but i’ve heard users hit the rate limit with a few queries.. so imo that sounds about right. the chat interface has its own limits separate from claude code.

Has to be wrong. I'm on that subscription as I wanted to reinforce my opinion that it's still shit for devs that actually have experience, like it was a few months ago.

While my plan didn't pan out, cuz it was way too effective, I can confidently say that I'm going through 3-6k tokens per prompt on average, and usually get around 3 hours of usage before I'm hitting the rate limit.

The limit is probably closer to 300k then <10k

Also the chat interface doesn't have a separate limit, once you hit it via Claude code, you cannot use the website either anymore.

Maybe it's a 7k limit per prompt? Dunno if I exceeded that before

I found I can hit the limit very quickly if I have it scan large quantities of code for analysis. If I try to be more surgical, and give it terse but accurate documentation and instructions, the budget lasts longer.

Same here. Sometimes I direct it just to specific files related to the feature requested.

Claude Code is chugging away on a step (6/10) for me right now:

Transforming… (212s · 26.1k tokens · esc to interrupt)

I reset just under 2 hours ago, probably been going at this pace for the last hour or so.

7k is literally nothing, even for a trial 7k of token is basically 1-2 files written that doesn't seem right if it is then i dont see why anyone would pay for that and not the 250 prompts/month from augment or one of the others

I hadn't even heard of augment, but Claude Code's UX is _mostly_ very nice (despite the problematic UX this particular project attempts to solve). So perhaps Claude Code has a better UI/UX?

I tried it with Roo Code (with 3.7 Sonnet, not Code). For agentic use you will probably hit the limit from your first prompt/assignment if it does some browser tool use.
