Never spent more than 40 euros per month on the base plans for Claude and OpenAI. And I’m doing 10x the amount of work I did before. As long as my computer isn’t running at night as well, I’m not upgrading.

Same experience. There was a period where Claude was burning through it's limits very quickly (~2 months ago?), but other than that, the $20/month plan is enough to do loads of work+personal coding. I am curious what workflows people are using that requires the expensive plans, and what they're building/maintaining.
For me, it's the single session limit. With the $20/mo plan, I had to manage it very carefully. And it only works if you're babysitting a single prompt instead of having 4-5 going at once.
use rtk or other similar tool
What are you doing if you might share ? Edit: 10x sounds like a lot so I wonder which work you do to achieve such a multiple with a simple 40€ subscription.
Indie developer. And Laravel development with the Boost and PAO packages, plus the Caveman skill is so fast, easy and efficient now. I never ran out of tokens in both plans at once.
Are you making 10x more income for yourself?
Not yet, but I finished all of my sideprojects in addition to my regular work and can now focus on doing more consultancy jobs again.
