My suspicion

I hammered Claude Code Sonnet 4.5 last night for 4 hours for my side job + what I used during my work day as a FT dev.

I checked my usage at the end of the night, and I was at 5% of my weekly limit.

I did not use Opus at all, and I am only on the $20 Pro Plan. I am also using the new VS Code extension for CC. I enjoy being able to paste in images directly and click back into my text to edit a misspell. CLI only just isn’t my jam.

How are y’all hitting limits on the higher plans? How much code are you asking it to spit out in a given day? There has to be some silver lining here as to why there are vast discrepancies between users.

Is there a usage bug? Or are y’all asking it build Facebook in a single day?
