I very recently (~ 1 week ago) subscribed to the Pro plan and was indeed surprised by how fast I reached my quota compared to say Codex with similar subscription tier. The UX is generally really cool with Claude Code, which left me with a bit of a bittersweet feeling of not even being able to truly explore all the possibilities since after just making basic planning and code changes I am already out of quota for experimenting with various ways of using subagents, testing background stuff etc.
The best thing about the max plan has been that I don’t have “range anxiety” with my workflows. This opens me to trying random things on a whim and explore the outer limits of the LLM capabilities more.
I remember a couple of weeks ago when people raved about Claude Code I got a feeling like there's no way this is sustainable, they must be using tokens like crazy if used as described. Guess Anthropic did the math as well and now we're here.
I use opencode with codex after all the shenanigans from anthropic recently. You might want to give that a shot!
Use cliproxyapi and use any model in CC. I use Codex models in CC and it's the best of both worlds!
