This morning I seemed to be locked up after barely any usage. Then it seemed to ease off, and I looked and the money in the tank wasn’t moving, so I thought we were doing good. Light usage, good execution, I might get used to this. Then later I get on and very shortly it’s saying I have no credit le…

[Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 10.49.39 AM] [Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 10.49.17 AM] I again just don’t know how to operate in this new environment. Yesterday I got a lot done and for some reason on occasion it would dip into my funds but for the majority it did not. Today I get my handful of requests …

I think this is the new push to get people on the Ultra plan. Claude Sonnet 4 (thinking) is very resource intensive, so either they’re rate limiting based on token usage, or something is seriously broken. I’m going with token usage, as changing to another lighter LLM, seems to work for longer.

Looks like this is another example of the billing bug I reported here: Billing Bug: New Pro mode exceeding usage billing threshold WITHOUT WARNING! - #6 by r1ch

[Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 12.58.15 PM] I waited nearly 4 hours to get 1 request in and was limited on my second request. My latent confusion is leading to being upset.

Just gonna keep updating since I’m now getting paranoid. :smiley: After :30m it unlocked again and so far I’ve had 7 requests processed. Every time I hit enter though I wonder.. will this be the last. Talk about a rough feeling. Working for the moment, for reasons I.. still.. don’t.. understand. e…

3.5h later I still have no new limit. So today, for those counting at home, I got ~12 uses for nearly ~8 hours. I’m not sure how this is acceptable. I’m fine with cooldowns, I’m fine with resets and bursting and whatever vocabulary you want to attach to it, but you have to have some better utility. …

Can’t you use your 500 messages while waiting? Just opt out and opt in later (sorry if I am talking something too obvious)

Yes, I use my 500, and add more money to it, and have used that. The point being is expectation. With Claude Code Pro you get around 9000 lines of code per 5 hours. If Cursor is trying to be similar to these rate limit concepts they need to have more visibility and understanding of how to set a user…

You’re not getting truly unlimited mode usage for $200. You’re getting higher rate limits plus the option to pay extra when you exceed those limits. The “unlimited” language is misleading - it should really say “higher limits with usage-based overage.” or something The rate limits are not clear its …
