Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

The biggest complaint I (and several others) have is that we continuously hit the limit via the UI after even just a few intensive queries. Of course, we can use the console API, but then we lose ability to have things like Projects, etc.

Do you foresee these limitations increasing anytime soon?

Quick Edit: Just wanted to also say thank you for all your hard work, Claude has been phenomenal.

We are definitely aware of this (and working on it for the web UI), and that's why Claude Code goes directly through the API!

The problem with the API is that it, as it says in the documentation, could cost $100/hr.

I would pay $50/mo or something to be able to have reasonable use of Claude Code in a limited (but not as limited) way as through the web UI, but all of these coding tools seem to work only with the API and are therefore either too expensive or too limited.

I've used https://github.com/cline/cline to get a similar workflow to their Claude Code demo, and yes it's amazing how quickly the token counts add up. Claude seems to have capacity issues so I'm guessing they decided to charge a premium for what they can serve up.

+1 on the too expensive or too limited sentiment. I subscribed to Claude for quite a while but got frustrated the few times I would use it heavily I'd get stuck due to the rate limits.

I could stomach a $20-$50 subscription for something like 3.7 that I could use a lot when coding, and not worry about hitting limits (or I suspect being pushed on to a quantized/smaller model when used too much).

Claude Code does caching well fwiw. Looking my costs after a few code sessions (totaling $6 or so) the vast majority is cache read, which is great to see. Without caching it'd be wildly more expensive.

Like $5+ was cache read ($0.05/token vs $3/token) so it would have cost $300+
