Tell HN: Claude is using my limits even though it's infra is failing

I am using Claude design, and a lot of times it's agent is failing mid-task, with connection errors (not sure is this connection between me and agent, or between agent in Claude infra and relevant LLM model)

When these errors happen:

1. My limits have been consumed already

2. There is no resume button, there is only retry, which starts again

3. Even retry fails, then consumes my tokens.

I had some chats where I lost 80% my limits by retrying the task, with no luck of completing it.

HN is not Claude support.

I am sharing this for awareness, some people might be thinking when they see "retry" it is probably not costing them anything, because issue is on Claude side

You end with 'Anthropic please fix this'. That's an appeal to Anthropic.
