Saving my hardest questions for when AI limits reset: 'consulting the oracle'

Every senior editor Jack Cheng shares how he works with Claude's weekly limits: resets land Monday/Tuesday, so he stockpiles his toughest problems and 'consults the oracle' when fresh capacity arrives.
- He used to burn the weekly allocation in a day, falling back to Sonnet for daily work while saving big questions and one-shot builds;
- The wait gives those questions time to develop — scarcity as a feature;
- As frontier models like Fable 5.1 got more token-efficient and usable at low effort, he now runs them daily and the same limits stretch 3-4 days;
- His takeaway: always-on access isn't always better; limits force him to pick which questions deserve the oracle.
