"Opus 4.6 is available on the $20 plan too"

Anthropic’s $20 plan gives you such a pittance of tokens that it’s borderline unusable for anything more than a few scripts or a toy app. If $20 is all you have you’d do _much_ better going with chatgpt

The Codex plan for the $20 ChatGPT plan goes much further than Claude's $20 plan, but it's still not enough if you plan to work full-time with it.

My usage is in the $60 tier, but that doesn't exist so I have to cough up $100. And then get all shaky if I don't use up my weekly quota.

Do you mostly just hit the session limits? If so I know it's not ideal but you could wait an hour or two for that to reset. Not sure if that would work for you but just a suggestion

I get to 80% when on a single session and cap out a hour off the rest if I’m working on two.

But I like to have that forced hour to stop, it’s moment to take a breath.

It depends on the kind of work though, some things are more token intensive.

That's simply not true at all.
