Claude users vote to ditch the 5-hour limit over doubled usage, exposing a heavy-user split

A community poll about Claude's usage policy shows most users would rather remove the 5-hour rolling limit than get 2x usage under it.
- Some argue rate-limit windows trigger so often that extra usage is unusable anyway.
- Others say they burn through the weekly cap in about a day and never hit the 5-hour limit, so the window feels generous and what they really need is a higher weekly allowance.
The discussion exposes a split between heavy agent users (who care about total weekly volume) and lighter users (who care about short-window throttling).
