I used the legacy plan with only the 5 hour limits on lite. It was super awesome but sadly not comparable to the new plan.

Currently I am on the new max plan with the 5hr limits and weekly limits, I can't speak for the credit plan. Using it exclusively in zcode because of the usage multiplier + the harness is genuinely good.

Easily do a billion tokens per week on my limits and generally have no problems with limits, however if I use it during peak hours I will hit the 5hr limit super fast even in zcode.

Zcode gives much more usage: Normal hours 1x -> 0.67x usage multiplier Peak hours 3x -> 2x usage multiplier

Peak lines up with the afternoon for me and I prefer coding morning/night so its not really a problem + I have the codex $20 plan and opencode go so I can always use other subs during peak hours.

If the peak hours are your main work hours (its a 4 hour window) then the value is going to be MUCH lower, especially in CC or other harnesses (1/3rd the usage limits is harsh).

It does also change a bit depending on demand, so I recommend getting the max plan because you get priority access if you really like the model, it would be a 10/10 recommendation for me if it had vision but rn its mainly useful for backend or throw away internal tools where IDK about the UI as much.
