Code Example

Plan: Max 20x
Usage pattern: 5 concurrent sessions (VS Code extension), solo developer
Symptom: Hitting limit in under 1.5 hours
Context load: ~83KB auto-loaded per turn (CLAUDE.md + MEMORY.md), 103 memory files (1.2MB directory)
Expected: Max 20x should comfortably handle this workload

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by optimizing the context load or adjusting the usage pattern to reduce the load on the Max 20x plan.

Guidance

  • Review the context load of ~83KB auto-loaded per turn and consider optimizing the size of CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md files.
  • Assess the usage pattern of 5 concurrent sessions and evaluate if it can be adjusted to reduce the load on the Max 20x plan.
  • Investigate if there are any other factors contributing to the high context load, such as the number of memory files (103 files, 1.2MB directory).
  • Consider monitoring the usage and context load to identify patterns or spikes that may be causing the limit to be hit in under 1.5 hours.

Notes

The issue is reported as a regression, indicating that it worked in a previous version, but the last working version is not specified. The provided information is repetitive and does not include specific error messages or logs, making it challenging to provide a more detailed analysis.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Optimize the context load and adjust the usage pattern to reduce the load on the Max 20x plan, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to the high context load and usage pattern.
