This is incorrect. I have the $200 per year plan and use Opus 4.5 every day.
Though granted it comes in ~4 hour blocks and it is quite easy to hit the limit if executing large tasks.

Not sure what you mean by incorrect since you already validated my point about the limits. I never had these issues even with Sonnet before, but after December, the change has been obvious to me.
Also worth considering that mileage varies because we all use agents differently, and what counts as a large workload is subjective. I am simply sharing my experience from using both Claude and Codex daily. For all we know, they could be running A/B tests, and we could both be right.
This is not a weekly limit though, it is a 4 hour one. You still have not clearly defined what you are talking about.
You have 5 hours limit (not 4), and weekly limit. But once you hit your weekly limit, you won't be able to use it anymore. That's how it works for a while now.
Not sure why you're being so hostile here. Since you mention you're on $200 plan, your rate limit is a lot higher so you probably won't notice it as much as $20 plan which to me is understandable.
I'm just sharing my experience using the same $20 plan, before and after December 2025. The difference is noticeable, that is all.
Four hours to be outdoors, walk the dog, drink coffee and talk to a friend outside a screen. Best part of my day.
