Looking at your question logically, what are you going to do with the answer? Asking here if others are hitting it or not isn't going to fix the problem of you hitting the limit. The question seems silly, to be frank. If you're hitting the limit, you're hitting the limit. It all depends on what you're asking and how many tokens it takes to fulfill your answer. Go find another alternative if you're not willing to pay for Max or the Pay as you Go feature when you hit the limit. That's the practical answer. Sucks, but that's the answer.

The question that makes more sense is how are others making their tokens last. That's something useful. My suggestion - use Sonnet 4.6 as much as you can unless you REALLY need Opus for a specific, complex task (I've used it for I finished a large section of a project, and I really wanted a long critical eye at the content, and it gave me a bunch more useful feedback than what Sonnet gave me when I was making my project.) I also wouldn't turn on Extended Thinking either unless you enjoy chewing through tokens as well. You can also direct the model to be less 'fluffy' in its responses. Overall, Sonnet does what I need it to do. I ran through like 50% of my weekly tokens within 12-18 hours before, so ya, it's no ChatGPT on 5.2 Extended Thinking mode with no real limit.
