How many sessions are you running simultaneously, how careful are you being about token consumption and context window management, and what level of reasoning are you using (with which models?)
8hrs a day doesn’t really mean anything without a lot additional qualifiers.
fwiw lately I’ve been straddling 2 or 3 claude codes and one Claude cowork, primarily on 4.7 with high effort - the company’s paying for it, so I’m doing my best to burn as many tokens as I have the mental capacity to manage. At that rate, the 100 account is completely necessary, I was blowing through my 4-hour limits consistently before requisitioning an upgrade.
at most I run 2-3, but usually one.
About token consumption and models: that's the thing. I hear this question often, but my answer is always the same. As I am Cursor user, I run it always in Auto mode (so Cursor decides which model to use, I don't even know which is in use).
Sometimes I switch from Auto to defined model but I found it quickly triggers "you are out of tokens" notices so nope: I stick to Auto :) 20 usd / month and that's it
