How to Stop Hitting Claude Code Rate Limits
Watch a usage limit handled live in VS Code — pause, preserve state, same-profile resume.

How to stop hitting Claude Code rate limits without gray-market relays: understand token burn, apply hygiene (.claudeignore, model choice, thinking caps), wait for official resets, and use Power Claude for local session recovery and Token Saver on the official-cli path.

TL;DR

  • Claude Code limits are token/window driven — agent loops burn them faster than chat.
  • Fix waste first (context, MCP, thinking, ignore rules), then add capacity with clear plan limits.
  • Power Claude orchestrates sessions locally; it does not market OAuth account pools.

Fast checklist

  1. Sonnet for bulk agent work
  2. MAX_THINKING_TOKENS + haiku subagents
  3. .claudeignore for node_modules/lockfiles
  4. Prune MCP via /context
  5. Update Claude Code (watch GH cost issues)
  6. On limit: pause/notify → reset or official plan/API

Power Claude (official-cli)

Recovery, scheduling, Token Saver, account groups — not Architecture A relays. See A vs B.

FAQ

Does Power Claude bypass rate limits?

No. It pauses/notifies and keeps Claude Code on the official path.
