SemiAnalysis says it's about 20% more on the five hour limit, but about 20% less over the month - great for sprints, worse if you use Claude all day every week. so i checked 5 of my Max accounts across 12 days. none of them are in the test.\n\ncheck yours in one session: in Claude go to settings (bottom left), then the usage tab. burn about 20 points off your five hour bar, then look at your weekly. if it moved about 5 points, that's normal. if it moved 6 or 7 or more, you're probably being tested. you can't trust a limit you can't see.\n\nalso this week: Claude goes auto mode by default (i still run it with skip permissions), 1Password lets agents sign in without ever seeing your password, Grok Bot gets your phone apps, Anthropic used Claude to prove code can't crash, banks are catching AI agents in customer accounts, and Claude on the iPhone Duo.\n\nthe practical - get grilled before you build. Matt Pocock's grill me skill makes Claude ask you three questions at a time, each with its recommended answer, before it builds anything. it finds the unknown unknowns. i asked it for a Threadify view made for the iPhone Duo's big inner screen and it found the problem i didn't know i had: the big screen was getting the cramped phone layout.\n\nlinks\nSemiAnalysis on the limits test: https://x.com/SemiAnalysis_/status/2113383965784502444\ncheck your usage: https://claude.ai/settings/usage\nClaude goes auto mode by default: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2113360845409583307\n1Password lets agents sign in: https://x.com/1Password/status/2113276767582498943\nGrok Bot on your phone apps: https://x.com/bot/status/2113393684209176718\nAnthropic: Claude proves code can't crash: https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2113390212911083894\nbanks catching AI agents (Axios): https://www.axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agents-banks-unauthorized-accounts-access\nRobert Bye on Claude for the iPhone Duo: https://x.com/RobertJBye/status/2113414436648284432\nMatt...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/P0B9fKUWl01KOkVXqQcDv5YBEKR1sflq-Hk71z-fa_U/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MzAx/ZGNmYzY1MmEwNjBk/NzUzN2NmODM3ZWUx/YzMzZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
