Usage quotas are tightening and becoming a constraint coding agents must design around

In one minute

OpenAI is halving usage on its $200 Pro tier and adding a $500 plan. Claude Code now finishes up cleanly instead of stopping mid-task when the five-hour limit hits.

Developers are building dashboards that predict when Claude Code, Codex and Kimi Code quotas will run out, and China's normalized token prices nearly doubled this year. Long agent runs should plan for budget limits and checkpoints rather than assume unlimited capacity.
