A user filed a Claude Code issue on October 28, 2026, reporting that usage limits had depleted faster since mid-October despite an unchanged workflow on Windows desktop. The user asked whether metering or limits had changed; the duplicate label on the report does not establish a cause or confirm a fix. We have not independently measured the usage.

A Codex user reported on October 28, 2026, that responses to the same tasks had slowed after that day’s update and sometimes appeared stuck without visible progress.
