I had to switch from Pro to Teams plan and pay 150 USD for 5 accounts because the Pro plan has gotten unusable. It will allow me to ask a dozen or so questions and then will block me for hours because of „high capacity.“ I don’t need five accounts, one for 40 USD would be totally fine if it would allow me to work uninterrupted for a couple of hours.

All in all Claude is magic. It feels like having ten assistants at my fingertip. And for that even 100 USD is worth paying.




I just start new chats whenever the chat gets long (in terms of number of tokens). It's kind of a pain to have to form a prompt that encapsulates enough context, but it has prevented me from hitting the Pro limit. Also, I include more questions and detail in each prompt.

Why does that work? Claude includes the entire chat with each new prompt you submit [0], and the limit is based on the number of tokens you've submitted. After not too many prompts, there can be 10k+ tokens in the chat (which are all submitted in each new prompt, quickly advancing towards the limit).

(I also have a chatGPT sub and I use that for many questions, especially now that it includes web search capabilities)

i get it to provide a prompt to start the new chat. i sometimes wish there was a button for it bc it's such a big part of my workflow


also, do any data engineers know how context works on the backend? seems like you could get an llm to summarize a long context and that would shorten it? also seems like i don't know what i'm talking about.

could the manual ux that i've come up happen behind the scenes?


Why don't you use the API with LibreChat instead?


Can I replicate the „Projects“ feature where I upload files and text to give context? And will it allow me to follow up on previous chats?
