Why would you spend $200 a day on Opus if you can pay that for a month via the highest tier Claude Max subscription? Are you using the API in some special way?

At a guess an Enterprise API account. Pay per token but no limits.

It’s very easy to spend $100s per dev per day.

  • The $200/month plan doesn't have limits either - they have an overage fee you can pay now in Claude Code so once you've expended your rate limited token allowance you can keep on working and pay for the extra tokens out of an additional cash reserve you've set up.

      You're absolutely right! Limited token allowance for $200/month is actually unlimited tokens when paying for extra from a cash reserve which is also unlimited, of course.

  • Oh, I wasn't arguing that it isn't "easy to spend $100s per dev per day". I was just asking what the use-case for that is.
