Troubleshooting Rate Limits

How to handle and avoid rate limits when using Claude with coding tools.

Understanding Rate Limits

Rate limits are applied per plan. Free trial: 100 total requests. Premium: 3k/day. Premium+: 6k/day.

How to Avoid Hitting Limits

  • Batch related questions into single prompts
  • Use Sonnet for simple tasks (uses fewer resources)
  • Space out requests during peak hours

    • What to Do When Rate Limited

    Wait for the limit to reset (daily for paid plans), or upgrade to a higher tier.
