I think i'm seeing the same thing- "Approaching Opus usage limit" in the terminal, about 1 hour after I switched to try out opus and the usage page says i've used 20% of my opus limit that doesn't reset for another week!

see image - says resets on thursday, which implies that in one day i used up the entire allocation? not sure if thats a bug or there are new reduced limits. fyi never hit a single limit yesterday. maybe used it for 5 - 8 hours. today for less than an hour.

I too have hit these usage limits within 5 hours, working on a super small code base project... a github action... nothing fancy, theres a total of 7 files and one python script that is less than 2000 lines.
3 weeks ago I was able to use Opus 4.0 on a giant code base project I was working on and never ran into usage limits. Using it both at work and at home I could use it all day non-stop without hitting weekly usage limits. Its not very useful for me any longer. Had I known before I renewed my subscription I would have gone with GPT-5 instead.
Anthropic, I dont know what you did to the usage models but this is ridiculous. You can barely work on a small code base for 5 hours doing debugging and new features before hitting the weekly limit... the value is no longer there and Sonnet 4.5 is useless for the large code base on my personal project... once my sub I just renewed is over Ill be cancelling unless this is fixed in the next month.
