I liked this, it was a nice touch from Anthropic. I noticed the Claude pixel character in Claude Code was updated for the holidays too.

I pay for the Pro plan and I find it totally sufficient for personal use, I've never run into limits. However after using ChatGPT free for a while before paying for Claude, I already got quite good at batching requests, making sure they're clear, referencing exact filenames and line numbers, etc. to keep my usage down.

Personally optimizing requests is kind of fun for me, it's like a game - trying to get the best output with the fewest input tokens.

Anyway, thanks Anthropic, happy holidays!

Hear that, paypiggies? We're increasing your arbitrary totally opaque RNG carrot—uh I mean $200/mo Max Plan Usage Limits for a limited time only!

Don't forget:

    We may [will] limit your usage in other ways [that we won't tell you about], such as weekly and monthly caps [absolutely] or model and feature usage [which means literally anything goes including stealth quantization and rerouting], at our discretion [whenever we like, teehee!!].

They've been going down all night.
