It uses the API so there are no "limits" to usage, it seems in this context that OP meant "limits" as in "I didn't like the limits of the UI" not the "usage limits". Also this will not work with a "normal" Claude subscription, it uses the API instead.

Since I'm using the API, I don't have to be limited to a specific number of messages.

But you're still subject to the limits set on their back end, no?

Well, the limitations for the API are different and much higher compared to using their platform

Ohhh... you're using the word platform to refer to only their web UI/website. I think that's confusing because when you say platform, I, and perhaps others, hear both the web UI and API, not just the web UI. Eg if someone is on the Stripe platform, they're using both the website and the API they provide. Since both of those things are run by Anthropic, I think of both of those as one platform coming from Anthropic (that they charge differently for).
