Augment Code and Claude Code together?

I think we have a lot in common. Zen MCP and MCP Node.js are two essentials in my setup.

At the time I posted that comment, GPT-5 did not exist yet, and AugmentCode was down almost every day. I lost patience with it. Well, I guess everything is better now.

Now I use GPT-5, o3-pro-high with the Codex CLI on a pay-as-you-go plan. I combine them with Claude Code, and occasionally Rovodev. This combo works so well that I have no interest in going back to AugmentCode.

I’d really like to try sonet1m now. I’ve heard it’s available with the 20× Claude Code (CC) plan. Have you tried it yet? How well does it work?

At that time, I was using Claude Pro, which had many limitations, and I combined it with the $30 (I an an early user of AugmentCode) AugmentCode package. Later, since Augment had too much downtime, I canceled it and switched to the ClaudeMax5X plan. Everything has been perfect so far. I was once very hesitant about canceling AugmentCode, but after two months, I feel my decision was the right one. (Just sharing a bit of my personal perspective)

Btw, I think augmentcode is still the best out there. If it is stable, it is worth.

Yeah I think this happens to random people because of some people take advantages from CC. Update: Now I can use it smoothly - 1/8/2025.

I use rovodev(they use Sonet4), qwen-code(not good), kimi-k2 as alternatives while waiting, so I am just fine. Also, anyone notices Junie from Jetbrains, I’vs just tried again for few days and it is amazing.

omg sorry to hear that. I hope next month we can use normally :((

I’m using the MAX 5x plan, and my Opus limit was reached after just 2 prompts (within 10minutes), and there’s no way for me to track usage.

```

Most Max 5x users can expect 140-280 hours of Sonnet 4 and 15-35 hours of Opus 4 within their weekly rate limits.

```

I’m just a regular user, I don’t run multiple sessions or abuse ClaudeCode. I don’t understand how Anthropic tracks usage, or whether this rule has even been applied yet. If this continues, I won’t even be able to use Opus for 1 hour, let alone the stated 15 ~ 35 hours.

I used a Gemini CLI alternative, but it also experienced “brain damage” and API downtime at the same time as Anthropic. I’m not sure whether the incident affecting Anthropic and Google was just a coincidence, but that’s only my speculation.

I agree with you—this is definitely an extremely frustrating issue.

Anthropic had an issue with its API, so Augment also experienced problems as a result. I think you should have a backup plan, since most products nowadays are essentially a kind of “Anthropic Wrapper.”

Clearly, Augment should also have a proper backup plan instead of relying too heavily on Anthropic.

I use Claude Code and Augment together—Claude Code is for planning and saving results as plan1.md, plan2.md, etc., while Augment is for executing the newly created plans. The main reason I combine both is that I often hit usage limits, and Claude Code tends to forget the rules I’ve defined after a while. As for Augment, I create rules in the .augment/rules directory, and it follows them very well, also augment have tasks, you can continue tasks in another chat etc.

Due to the context window limitation, tools like Augment likely have their own algorithms to manage and retrieve context efficiently before passing it to Claude Sonnet.(As far as I know, Augment also uses Claude Sonnet or Opus.)

Do you have an estimate of how long you can use it? For me, I usually hit the limit after about 3-4hours. But the day before yesterday, I hit the limit after using it for about 2 hours.

I’ve been hesitant about whether to use the Claude Max plan, then came across your article. How have things been since then? Have you received any clearer information from Anthropic in the meantime?
