Original post body:

I am a relatively very new user and I just continued a past conversation... Gave a 14 word input and 205 word output at Claude Sonnet 4.6 Low... And then gave a task to read 2 files approx 330 words each...

The 5 hrs limit was reached in just this much only... My task was not even completed 😭😭 1200 tokens is the 5hr limit for free tier? This is shit mannn 😞 I don't want to go back to using Gemini yaar
