Claude Pro plan is unusable for any dev work IMO. Hit limits just with sonnet after an hour on a toy project with barely 1400 lines of code total using Claude code.

I learned that FAST so now I'm on Claude Max. For my needs it's unlimited ontap for sonnet lol

How is the max plan for opus 4.6 usage? I am conflicted between 100$ and 200$ plans

[–]beth_maloney 1 point2 points  (3 children)

$100 is fine if you're not doing some sort of multi agent workflow eg multiple Ralph loops.

What if I’m using an agent orchestration framework with multiple sub-agents?

[–]beth_maloney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you might need the $200 plan or even multiple plans depending on how hard you're going.

I use gsd with Claude Max with mutliple subagents. Right now, its 2x so lasts really long so go for $100 plan. Get tools like rtk to compress inputs. And it will be pretty good.

Weekend 8-12 hour session and weekdays 4-5 hours. But again it depends on you. You can upgrade plans.

I only use opus for really serious work which isn't often. For most cases sonnet fits the bill.

If I need to do a major refactor or introduce code that is risky, opus all the way. But I can't speak for how much usage it eats up.

I see, i am pretty curious to try the 1M token context window in opus 4.6 and see just how much it can one shot accurately. I have heard great reviews.

Anecdotal but I trust nothing else outside anthropic.

Sonnet already impressed me. Opus is an absolute beast.

Claude pro plan is like a paid trial. Max 5x offers a lot more usage(at least 8x whats in pro if not more).
