At 8 hours a day 5 days a week I never hit the limit on my $100 MAX plan. People must be running crazy autonomous workflows or something because I'm nowhere near hitting my limit, ever
Each time I've dug into this for someone, it's because they're filling up their context window with a bunch of tokens before any real work even starts.
Highly encourage people having issues to do /context and start removing heavy things. It's usually some sprawling MCPs they rarely use, or huge CLAUDE.md files they generated or cargo-culted from someone else.
I'm not suggesting these are the only ways to hit the limits, it's just (so far) almost always the answer when someone hits the limits doing something that I wouldn't expect to be problematic.
