why does my claude limit sometimes get hit so quickly, but other times i can have a much longer session without hitting it?
MEXC Update
On October 20th, I had a one-hour call with @cecilia_hsueh, who has publicly taken on the role of trying to resolve the @MEXC_Official issue.
I started the call with my camera on - something that apparently surprised her. I told her I had nothing to hide. I prefer to look people in the eye.
From the start, she used the classic corporate playbook.
She claimed she had “undeniable proof” I broke the rules - meaning, by MEXC’s own terms, the funds should be forfeited (a polite way of saying they get to keep them). She said she was happy to show this evidence to a third party…but that doing so would require doxxing me, and she “knew I wouldn’t want that.”
Then came the carrot:
She said MEXC “wants to resolve it” and “sees a path to unlocking the funds.”
But it quickly became clear that what they really wanted was for me to publicly admit I broke the rules - to validate their actions with my own words.
I asked her to tell me more about the supposed “evidence.”
She said back in April, they had records of two orders executed within the same second - which they deemed as not possible from a manual process.
Wait…April? When I was still testing strategies - and losing money?
Yet they didn’t freeze my account until the fall, after I made $5M in profit in 90 days?
I took a breath and told her very sincerely:
“I don’t know if you’re a parent. But I have two young daughters. And on all of the love I have for them I can promise you that I did not do what you're saying I did.
I used no bots, no automation. Every single trade was manual.”
I explained that VPN lag could easily explain two trades executing a single second on their side - doesn't mean they were sent from the same second on my side. She acknowledged the point but didn’t concede. We reached an impasse.
Still, she indicated MEXC was “open” to releasing the funds - if I helped them control the narrative.
It was obvious: they want me to say, “I broke the rules, but MEXC was nice enough to return the money.”
I told her I’d only ever speak the truth.
If the matter was resolved, I’d gladly make a public statement - but it would be based in reality, not propaganda. I can and do see how it's possible that my unique - manual - trading strategy, combined with laggy VPN internet traffic could potentially trip a risk review. I used to run a web2 empire - I know all sorts of things can trigger risk control and that sometimes innocent people get caught in the crossfire. What matters is how quickly the business resolves it.
I've never had an issue with being put under review. Taking months to even tell me what I'm accused of and finding me guilty on little more than mere suspicion? That I take issue with.
We did agree on one thing: their old “risk control” system - total radio silence, zero transparency, and endless review extensions - is broken. She even admitted that much.
We closed on a surprisingly cordial note. She complimented my understanding of the industry and even suggested I might make a good CEO candidate for one of MEXC’s new initiatives. I laughed and told her I’d never want to be a CEO again - but I’d gladly donate my time as an unpaid advisor to help MEXC fix their broken systems and improve customer experience…if their intent to improve was real.
The call ended with her promising follow-up in the next couple of days.
That was a week ago Monday. It’s now over 10 days later and still no movement on this issue.
Let me be clear: I never expected much.
Cecilia is new to the organization - perhaps even sincere - but ultimately captured by MEXC’s internal narrative: that they are the victims, and that once they define you as “in violation,” they’re justified in keeping your funds.
But here’s the part they probably didn’t mean to reveal - this public pressure has hurt them.
But my voice is not for sale.
Not for profit.
Not for peace.
Not for anyone.
They’ll just have to live with that.
🫡 From the depths —
The White Whale 🐋
All said and done, regardless of what sparked it, Friday was a "Flash Crash". Flash crashes usually recover in V-shapes back to their prior price/range and usually go on to make new highs shortly after.
In this case, we entirely wiped out all accumulated leverage too.
Higher.
It’s not really about the leverage — it’s about position sizing and risk per trade.
For example, with a $10,000 account and 1% risk ($100 max loss):
– 1x leverage = $10,000 position → $100 loss if stop hits
– 2x leverage = $5,000 of your own → $100 loss if stop hits
– 3x leverage = $3,333 of your own → $100 loss if stop hits
– 4x leverage = $2,500 of your own → $100 loss if stop hits
– 10x leverage = $1,000 of your own → $100 loss if stop hits
In all these cases, the risk is the same — $100.
The danger isn’t the 3x itself; it’s when position size and stop distance aren’t aligned with your risk limit.
Leverage amplifies exposure, not discipline.

I think it needs explaining that although I see an elongated cycle it doesn't mean my analysis is right. The breadth and depth of macro/crypto analytics framework I've added since 2021 is massive and I'm happy with the probabilities currently but things can change...
At GMI we have done tremendous amounts of work on this all at the nexus of crypto and macro in The Everything Code. It comprised of over 4,000 charts (serious).
However, I am not a guru.
We all need to take lifestyle chips off the table to secure our own future.. I can't dictate that. In RV too we will do our best to help as many people as possible,
But we are not, and will not be, perfect.
This is your choice alone. Not mine.
Only you can actually protect your own future and thus limit regret if the market reverses or even it explodes higher.
I'm guessing I'll take 25% to 30% off into year end but I don't know yet. It's based on my own circumstances, not yours and its based on my p&l and not yours.
Also don't forget that your risk profile is different to mine...
I can afford to take outrageously concentrated risks like having 80%+ of my liquid stack in Sui.
But based on my work I think Sui it outperforms most others majors. I am not a maximalist and my portfolio can and will change but I will let you know if my analysis changes.
My job for myself is to maximise profits with best risk adjust returns.
For most, just buy BTC, ETH and SOL
My job for myself is to max profits with best risk adjust returns I think are available.
The Banana Zone won't fix your shitty asset allocation. If you have had a decent portfolio you will already be up 5x to 10x from the low.
If you are newer, don't chase gains, time in the market is vital, you should make money this cycle but here is more to play for over time,
You have 5 years or so to Unfuck your Future.
Please don't fuck it up.
This will be my pinned tweet so you can refer to it.
Just let it all play out and take profits on the way.
Good luck.
My work suggests the next 6 to 9 months can change all our lives but don't bet on it exclusively.
If you want to reduce risk and also play for higher prices consider selling some and buying longer dated calls in due course, where you can only lose your premium (as I did in 2021 with ETH and only risked 5% for a potential leg higher which failed).
I appreciate your attention in this matter.
