@rubinovitz@grok can you please provide a chart of new openings in software engineering jobs in the last 24 months and how they are trending? Please include sources.
@victorrseloy@the_anandgoyal US software job openings (Indeed index, Feb 2020=100) surged to a peak of 234 in early 2022, then fell sharply to a low of 61 in May 2025. They have since recovered to around 81 as of early November 2026—still below the pre-pandemic baseline.
Anthropic said in March that 5h limits drain faster at weekday peak hours, and reportedly dropped that for Pro/Max in May.
On Team it still looks like the window shrinks when demand is high (today's session ran during the US morning). Anyone else seeing this?
I track every Claude Code session across 5 Team accounts and price it at API rates.
How much fits in one full 5h session:
• usually ~$220
• Saturday avg: $263
• today: $184
Same plan, same model (Opus 5.5), same kind of work. The 5h limit doesn't look fixed.
How I measured: Claude Code token usage × public API prices ÷ % of the 5h limit used.
Only sessions that reached ≥70% (usage is shown in whole %, so small ones are noisy).
42 sessions since Oct 16.
