@acadictive Its 5 times the usage limit of a regular plus subscription. This subscription is called Claude Max.
You get a certain amount of AI tokens to use that refreshes every 5 hours.
I can work in 5 terminals at the same time and spawn multiple agents and - almost - never run out.
@aschmelyun You can do 5x as much with the same quality standards + you can try even more complex tasks and still oneshot them. Upgrade your AI harness!
Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
I’m in my 40s and in the same boat, but I look at it a bit differently. Having spent most of my career without AI, I used to work at a much finer grain level, spending immense brain power on syntax and low-level tasks. It felt like hard work, but it led to much faster burnout.
AI is fundamentally shifting our cognitive load. Our job is no longer the manual labor of text generation or basic logic, it’s moving toward high-level system design and architectural thinking.
I suspect what you’re feeling isn't a loss of intelligence, but a transition: you’ve successfully offloaded the low-level skills, but haven't yet fully redirected that freed up brain power toward higher level systematic challenges. It’s a different kind of sharpness we’re all learning to hone.
