To help you monitor your usage, you will see warning messages about remaining capacity. When you reach your rate limits, you can select from a few options based on your needs:
*If you're on the $100 Max plan (5x Pro usage), consider upgrading to the $200 Max plan (20x Pro usage) if you consistently hit limits.
*You will have the flexibility to switch to pay-as-you-go usage with an Anthropic Console account. This will provide flexibility for intensive coding sprints.
*Wait till your rate limits reset.

Kilo Code is just straight up lying to drive business to their own AI - one would argue just as or more scummy than the practice (which, again, Anthropic DIDN'T DO) they are calling out in this sham blog post
Thank you for the article; it's really nice to see some transparency upfront, I cant say im a dev myself, I havent program for 3 decades, and been vibe coding and debugging personal projects and I keep seeing or reaching my limits per day in most AI platform, like in Grok AI, Gemii and Google before they become slow or showing errors that cannot respond, If im a small fry who is dependent on this, how much more on those dev that uses those max plans, and is really depedent on those high subscriptions, their workflow would be severly affected.
I do love Kilo code method of buiness, at least dev (or like me aspiring dev) would know the usage and limits, so things can be manage and control un-necessary API calls(or whatever it is called) and usage be keep under minimum.
I would definitely subscribe at Kilo code if chances permitted.
Joel: You are hairsplitting. They are still selling "unlimited", but it's not unlimited and hasn't been for a while. And now the new thing is weekly limits in addition to the session limits.
In what sense are they selling “unlimited”? Everything I remember seeing from Anthropic has been clear that there are usage limits. Can you link to something published by Anthropic that implies it’s unlimited?
My friend subscribed to cursor just today 😃 if I make him ditch it then can we get $100 bonus from kilo 😉
Claude Code has had usage limits on the Max plan since at least the beginning of June. Whatever they just changed it wasn’t revoking unlimited access.

in fact, they NEVER used the term "unlimited" in their press release about it: https://www.anthropic.com/news/max-plan
