Two stacking tips for stretching Claude subscription limits: set /autocompact to 400K (down from 1M) for 20% more weekly usage, and ask Claude to audit your setup — reviewing usage, sessions, unused skills and plugins, auto-compacting lengthy skill descriptions since newer models need less. Also: run Opus 5.5 on medium/high effort for software work instead of max. The author ran heavy Opus work for 4 days and still had 50% weekly quota left.
