@hoffdigital: How to Extend Claude’s Daily Usage for Claude Code Plan Are you hitting Claude’s usage limits too fast on the $200 Code plan? Discover a smart workaround to stretch your daily usage by manually clearing context and using markdown reference points. #ClaudeAI #AIUsageTips #PromptEngineering #DebuggingWithAI #ContextWindow #TokenManagement #hoffdigital #AICodingTips
Have Claude [echo ‘{ … detailed context … } > context_dump.json] without a summary. You can even setup an alias for this and other agents can load it. Set up templates for the context structure. The process takes a few seconds.

I saw somewhere where someone uses Gemini with Claude Code to use the Gemini 1M context window but Claude in CLI. Haven’t figured that out yet, if you do - please tag me :)

2.5 hours on the $200 plan? I'm getting like 4-4.5 hours on the $20 plan. How are you using it? 😅

I’m on the broke $20 plan and noticed that from day one and have been doing exactly what you are saying but using a project scope-progress.md and I have that referenced in the Claude.md file for operating guidelines.

Opus or sonnet?

-give Claude desktop file system access, use it to anylize and plan then tell it to instruct Claude code in a shared.md file.

claude was getting throttled massively today

If you have time, go look at the video i just uploaded. i built a mcp memory, and it completely removes this issue. the video is showing claude desktop, but my claude code is hooked up to the same MCP server so they also share that memory.
i work in claude desktop until i hit my limit then switch over to claude code and run the API per token. No downtime, no updating context in new threads or projects.

$200 usage plan and u hit ur max limit??? I’m on $100 plan and code all day and barely hit the limit, (non-opus) how big is your codebase?

John McLaughlin :
In the last 2 weeks it has for surrrrrre started throttling, I used to never hit the usage limits on $200 plan and now it hits it absurdly fast. And 100% the context window gets siphoned by auto-compact, summarizations, and wasted md files. Completely ignores Claude.md root instructions now too

I had to just end up paying for straight api usage

You can build a matrix table of the token limits you want Claude Code to use, on a CLAUDE.md. Also, you can make an observer agent that taps into the hooks, and halt Claude when it overthinks. Overthinking is a signal that you need to break the context into smaller spaces.

You’re always 10 miles ahead of me. I haven’t migrated to Claude. Still using ChatGPT

I make a ton of .md files, and have the Claude.md have instructions to continually update them. Things like current_session.md that I tell it to continually update. Plus larger project plan and todo lists in Md’s I actually make it break things into sprints and add the sprints to a main Md then ask it to break off sprint specific Md files while we’re working them. So, yes, I do this, to the extreme

Yes the markdown checklist is super helpful. I tell it to make a plan in .md format before executing then update the plan as it works through it

So when I’m in ChatGPT, when the context window is too big I converted to a file. Then I start a new chat, and I say go read that file, and bam it speeds up, and has access to all the old conversation.

I use Cursor, haven’t dedicated the time to test out CC yet, but I typically make the debug report and todo list as part of my project rules in the MDC file. I noticed that not only helps be more token efficient, but also it produces better quality code so less for me to QA later.

Bryan Batchelder :
Keep in mind that every time the LLM is called, you’re sending the entire message history. So the longer a session is, the more tokens you burn on each request. So you proactively pruning it is keeping you using less tokens overall, so you don’t hit your token limit as quickly.

Debugging Reference Prompt:
When I need to modify or debug elements, I will reference them by their unique IDs. Always maintain this ID structure throughout development and updates. If I say "modify the #hero-section" or "change the styling for #user-profile-card", immediately understand I'm referring to the element with that specific ID.
When making changes, preserve all existing IDs unless explicitly told to rename them.
