Claude Code hits limits faster than it should. THE REASON IS MATHEMATICAL - AND COMPLETELY FIXABLE IN 10 MINUTES. Every message you send - the model re-reads the entire conversation from scratch. In a long chat, 98.5% of tokens go toward processing old messages. Not writing new code. Just reading what you already said. Here's the fix: > Stop feeding it garbage inputs. PDF and Word files carry hidden metadata - fonts, margins, formatting. Same text in Markdown costs 8,000 tokens instead of 15,000. Convert everything before pasting. > Kill context rot at 120k tokens. One chat = one task. Page built - close the chat. Open a new one for integrations. Past that threshold the model starts degrading and produces noticeably worse output. > Force short answers. Output tokens cost 5x more than input. Add one line to your .claudemd: respond concisely. That's it. > Use /btw for quick questions. Ask a clarifying question mid-session - it answers, you hit Escape, the exchange disappears from history. Zero token cost. > Shift+Tab before every complex task. Plan mode forces a written plan before any code gets written. Fewer corrections = fewer tokens burned. Personal hack: Claude's 5-hour limit window starts at your first message. Set Claude Routines to auto-send at 6am. By 9am when you sit down - the reset is already coming at 11. Anthropic doubled limits on May 6, 2026 and removed peak-hour throttling. The math just got easier.
