On a pro plan. Use opus 4.5 with thinking enabled. I find that two sessions eats through my entire five-hour "session limit", so no need for parallelization because I've consumed my tokens before I can even blink.
I see the power and am considering Max but 5x cost is difficult to swallow. Just doing this for a lark, not professionally.
It's not gonna get cheaper either, all AI companies are still losing tons of money overall, and so prices will need to keep increasing (or they will all follow OpenAI's lead to add ads).
I like using Zed with Anthropic API Key. Burned through a few hundred dollars in a weekend but got the Rails app to work about 10x faster than trying to hire someone.
I have 2 max accounts and still hitting the limits almost daily. Vibing 3 projects simultaneously.
