Stop Hitting Claude Limits.

You will learn why usage disappears (every message re-reads the whole conversation) and the habits that stop it. End state is three chosen habits written down and your default settings corrected. After this module you can run the same workload on a smaller plan, keep conversations cheap with edits and restarts, and match model and product to task instead of paying Opus prices for Haiku work.

1. Explain the core mechanic: Claude re-reads the whole conversation every message, so cost compounds with length
2. Apply the high-impact habits: convert files before upload, plan in chat then build in Cowork, ask-me-questions over long prompts
3. Manage conversations: edit instead of follow-up, restart from an earlier message, fresh session per topic, summarize and carry over
4. Match model and product to task (light model for light work, heavy for deep work)
5. Reduce standing costs: lean context files, connectors off by default, Projects for reused documents
