Claude says you hit the limit.”
But the real problem isn’t messages.
It’s context.
Most people don’t realize Claude re-reads the entire conversation every time you send a prompt.
So longer chats = faster burn rate.
That’s why you can hit limits in 10 minutes without even doing heavy work.
A few ways to avoid it
• Start fresh chats more often
• Don’t dump unnecessary context every prompt
• Use Projects for reusable files/context
• Save instructions once instead of repeating them
• Use Sonnet for most work, Opus only when needed
AI productivity is becoming less about prompting
and more about context management.
