I have a humble Pro Claude sub for my personal projects, and I use it on Android.
So I used up my weekly limit on Monday, and I was going about my day waiting for Thursday to continue.
Then I checked the app for whatever reason and noticed 2 limit resets. 1 for all model usage and 1 for Fable 5.2, and I had the experience of a gambler's rush.
"I can do so many things now," I thought and clicked instantly on the reset without thinking, like a gambler's finger on a slot machine.
"I won something."
So I instantly got the motivation dopamine and got to work, and I was reckless. I set up 2 Fable 5.2 agents to start auditing a codebase and an Opus 5.5 to start doing my todo list.
And guess what? I ran out of usage without being productive. Now I have to wait 5 hours for the next reset.
The combination of a gambler's rush and sudden motivation causes rushed decision-making. Instead of just setting an audit for overnight or doing my todos, I wanted it all and failed to manage it spectacularly.
So that's what I think. Claude is as addictive as a substance or at least like a casio.
