Does Anthropic not actively ban people using oauth tokens in non-claude-code harnesses?

If I was paying API costs, I'd be spending about $1700/mo to get what I use on Claude's 20x plan. My understanding was that Cursor would give me about 1/4 of that, on their 20x plan.

Surely CC has a lower price? How much do you have to pay Cursor for equivalent to what's provided in a 20x Claude Max plan?

I can just about max out the weekly limits in the $200 plan, in a write-heavy week, without trying to be wasteful. Some weeks are more read-heavy. I could use Opus 4.1 all week, without hitting limits, before the latest price hike.

That's with offloading work to some other tools too - Windsurf, Warp, Augment (goodbye, Augment - you're too expensive, now).

Git Worktrees are one solution.

It's hard, in that you have to duplicate the environment (in addition to the codebase). I don't think there's any getting around that, though.
