What am I doing wrong that I'm never hitting the rate limits on the $100 Max plan?

Considering my personal heavy use also not leading to rate limits and what I've seen by some users over the past months, I suspect a mix of actually thinking about your code before writing a prompt, managing context by documenting and running stuff like git, npm install, etc. yourself instead of "Hey Claude, setup React with Radix and install a few packages". I have genuinely seen someone use ultrathink for setting up a starter repo hosted on Github, despite the commands being listed in the readme, so I can see how certain people may hit the limits quicker than others. Still, I will cancel my Claude Max subscription if they remain intransparent concerning the amount of use we actually get, especially regarding the mail they sent out recently which stated that 20x Max users do only get 10x in terms of expected usable hours. Same goes for still not providing an official way to track how much use one has left in a week.

> running stuff like git, npm install, etc. yourself

Ah; this definitely makes sense! I do this myself and then paste back only the relevant part of the log so as to limit this. I suspect I am being more conservative than others.

I am on the pro plan, I was considering Max, but then i found kimi and I’m getting used to it.

Are you using kimi with Claude Code? Are you using it via OpenRouter?

With claude code and Kilo as well. I’m using moonshot’s API.

Thank you

Are you using a proxy to connect Claude code to Kimi?

And how much do you estimate it would cost in a month of daily usage?
