This ain’t what you asked but I’m using Claude Code with a pro subscription and I get about an hour use out of it before I run out of tokens. Then I spend 4 hours thinking about how to set up my context for the next session.
I have a very different experience. I have built https://github.com/pixlie/SmartCrawler almost entirely on Claude Code with some usage of Google Jules. Even all GitHub workflows are from CC. I still have tokens left since I try multiple other ideas in parallel.
I have coded a few landing pages and even a full React Native app with the same Claude Pro account in the last month. I do not consider this huge usage, but this is similar to a couple months of my own programming with AI assistance (like Zed + Supermaven).
Please note: SmartCrawler is not ready for usage, you can surely try it out though but I am changing the inner workings and it is half-complete.
Also, there are many branches of code that I have thrown away because I did not continue that approach. Example, I was trying a bounding box way to detect what data to extract, using the HTML element's position and size on browser. All coded with Claude Code. Generating such ideas is cheap in my opinion.
Gave it my first try yesterday burned trough the 20$ limit in maybe an hour and haven't hit the pro limit yet.
Guess I really have to look into making this more efficient.
More walking around the block thinking and more breaks for a cup of coffee.
