Did you eventually move to a $20/mo Claude plan, $100/mo Claude plan, $200/mo, or API based? if API based, how much are you averaging a month?

The $20 one, but it's hobby use for me, would probably need the $200 one if I was full time. Ran into the 5 hour limit in like 30 minutes the other day.
I've also been testing OpenClaw. It burned 8M tokens during my half hour of testing, which would have been like $50 with Opus on the API. (Which is why everyone was using it with the sub, until Anthropic apparently banned that.)
I was using GLM on Cerebras instead, so it was only $10 per half hour ;) Tried to get their Coding plan ("unlimited" for $50/mo) but sold out...
(My fallback is I got a whole year of GLM from ZAI for $20 for the year, it's just a bit too slow for interactive use.)

Try Codex. It's better (subjectively, but objectively they are in the same ballpark), and its $20 plan is way more generous. I can use gpt-5.2 on high (prefer overall smarter models to -codex coding ones) almost nonstop, sometimes a few in parallel before I hit any limits (if ever).

I now have 3 x 100 plans. Only then I an able to full time use it. Otherwise I hit the limits. I am q heavy user. Often work on 5 apps at the same time.

Shouldn't the 200 plan give you 4x?? Why 3 x 100 then?
