Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'

For a start they could make the answers less talkative?

I switched back to ChatGPT out of necessity, because Claude stopped working after two queries, where it gave overly elaborate answers (about a simple web app config).

But Claude isn't alone. It seems a recent (subjective) trend that Claude and ChatGPT give very lengthy answers, with a lot of repetition from the original query on the free plans.

I got used to add "answer briefly", to keep the noise in check.

> Anthropic recently accidentally released part of its internal source code for Claude Code due to "human error".

I wonder who that human was counting on leading up to this "human error" ...

Yeah the whole OpenAI exodus brought in a ton of people and Anthropic was struggling to meet the previous usage already

That’s why there’re now work hours restrictions

Yes that make sense also Since Anthropic says other Chinese companies using their data for their models, they might be limiting use on new accounts.

How ironic: once the exfiltrators of all of the web's data have consolidated it into their own walled-garden it becomes 'proprietary' and must - of course - be protected from exfiltration by others as if it was their own.

Anthropic launched in the UK recently (Feb I think) so I expect it’s as a consequence of that.

Your gonna get flagged and all for this comment..... But I agree.

Is there a HN frontend that filters out mentions of AI, it would make a nice change... Maybe I should AI code it /just joking

I'm unironically working on a proxy that filters sites like reddit, hn, etc by using user provided LLM rules
