The biggest complaint I (and several others) have is that we continuously hit the limit via the UI after even just a few intensive queries. Of course, we can use the console API, but then we lose ability to have things like Projects, etc.

Do you foresee these limitations increasing anytime soon?

Quick Edit: Just wanted to also say thank you for all your hard work, Claude has been phenomenal.

[eschluntz]

We are definitely aware of this (and working on it for the web UI), and that's why Claude Code goes directly through the API!

[smallerfish]

I'm sure many of us would gladly pay more to get 3-5x the limit.

And I'm also sure that you're working on it, but some kind of auto-summarization of facts to reduce the context in order to avoid penalizing long threads would be sweet.

I don't know if your internal users are dogfooding the product that has user limits, so you may not have had this feedback - it makes me irritable/stressed to know that I'm running up close to the limit without having gotten to the bottom of a bug. I don't think stress response in your users is a desirable thing :).

The problem with the API is that it, as it says in the documentation, could cost $100/hr.

I would pay $50/mo or something to be able to have reasonable use of Claude Code in a limited (but not as limited) way as through the web UI, but all of these coding tools seem to work only with the API and are therefore either too expensive or too limited.

I haven't been able to find ClaudeCLI for pubic access yet. Would love to use.

[mianos]

I paid for it for a while, but I kept running out of usage limits right in the middle of work every day. I'd end up pasting the context into ChatGPT to continue. It was so frustrating, especially because I really liked it and used it a lot.

It became such an anti-pattern that I stopped paying. Now, when people ask me which one to use, I always say I like Claude more than others, but I don’t recommend using it in a professional setting.

[zaptrem]

I have substantial usage via their API using LibreChat and have never run into rate limits. Why not just use that?

[divan]

Same.

If you are open to alternatives, try https://glama.ai/gateway

We currently serve ~10bn tokens per day (across all models). OpenAI compatible API. No rate limits. Built in logging and tracing.

I work with LLMs every day, so I am always on top of adding models. 3.7 is also already available.

https://glama.ai/models/claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219

The gateway is integrated directly into our chat (https://glama.ai/chat). So you can use most of the things that you are used to having with Claude. And if anything is missing, just let me know and I will prioritize it. If you check our Discord, I have a decent track record of being receptive to feedback and quickly turning around features.

Long term, Glama's focus is predominantly on MCPs, but chat, gateway and LLM routing is integral to the greater vision.

I would love feedback if you are going to give a try [e-mail]

[airstrike]

The issue isn't API limits, but web UI limits. We can always get around the web interface's limits by using the claude API directly but then you need to have some other interface...

Just tried it, is there a reason why the webUI is so slow?

Try to delete (close) the panel on the right on a side-by-side view. It took a good second to actually close. Creating one isn't much faster.

This is unbearably slow, to be blurt.

[tesch1]

Who is glama.ai though? Could not find company info on the site, the Frank name writing the blog posts seems to be an alias for Popeye the sailor. Am I missing something there? How can a user vet the company?

[cmdtab]

Do you have deepseek r1 support? I need it for a current product I’m working on.

[Daniel_Van_Zant]

I see Cohere, is there any support for in-line citations like you can get with their first party API?

[clangfan]

this is also my problem, ive only used the UI with $20 subscription, can I use the same subscription to use the cli? I'm afraid its like those aws api billing where there is no limit to how much I can use then get a surprise bill

[eschluntz]

It is API billing like AWS - you pay for what you use. Every time you exit a session we print the cost, and in the middle of a session you can do /cost to see your cost so far that session!

You can track costs in a few ways and set spend limits to avoid surprises: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...

I use AnythingLLM so you can still have a "Projects" like RAG.
