What's Wrong?
As of now the CC with Claude Pro plan supports only Sonnet 4.5. 3 months ago i was able to use it for 2.5 hour of 3 hour limit. Month ago 1.5 - 2 hours of 5 hour limit. But now only 20 minutes of 5 hour limit?!?
What the hell is wrong?
What Should Happen?
Claude should have bigger limits.

LOL - on the Pro plan used to work for a couple of hours until hitting the 5 hour limit say an hour or give or take from the limit ... A couple of days back got kicked out in under an hour I recall!!!!! Have been using another product since - will have to cancel my subscription if this is not corrected - but guess that this is the company's intent as bcherry in another thread stressed that current performance is quite in line as advertised(sic!) and had the thread closed!!! Pretty clear messaging I believe ....
This has been happening to me for the last few days. The sessions seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I have also been kicked in the middle of the system making significant changes leaving me with hours of work trying to clean up the mess. I went ahead and cancelled my service this morning and will use alternatives until there is some kind of comment as to what is going on here.
Noticing the CC Pro plan w/ Sonnet 4.5 is hitting the Session Limit Reached throttle after less than an hour of boilerplate work. Not even continuous work. More like 3-5 min mind-numbing jobs (fixing compiler warnings) a few times in less than an hour.
C'mon Anthropic - we're using Sonnet 4.5 on the Pro plan (yearly subscriber) and we can barely get an hour of CC usage. There needs to be better visibility into these usage limits. Either that or just give up the mirage of a "Pro" plan and force everyone on the "Max" plan b/c that sure seems like where you're pushing us.
Be transparent; this passive-aggressive rate limiting is nonsense.
I’m also experiencing this issue. After starting a session, I consistently hit the “session limit reached” message after about 20 minutes of usage. This happens even when I’m not running heavy workloads. It seems like the session timeout is shorter than expected, and it interrupts ongoing work.
Had the same thing happen today. Session limit hit after 4 Messages sent to Claude. Never happend to me before. See picture attached: Session limit reached after 11 Minutes?
I subscribe to the Pro plan ($20.00/month). 35 minutes later I hit session limits trying to resolve an Eclipse/Maven issue.
Only 45 minutes after subscribing, I CANCELED my subscription and continue to use Grok.
Ditto. Usage has become comically limited regardless of complexity or volume. half the time is spent trying to work with or around its flawed 'memory' to continue from a prior conversation. Then abrupt session death. Completely different and unacceptable experience on Pro plan compared to the past few months. Ugh.
I've been using Claude Haiku, Sonnet and Opus in CoPilot for months and I always had a good experience. Yesterday I decided I'd sign up to Claude Pro and give Claude Code a try. I hit the session limit within an hour or so (I didn't even know it was a thing). This morning, the same thing happened, I hit the limit in 1 hour. I'm not impressed. I pay a lot less for CoPilot and get a lot more.
