Today, I just saw this article about claude code and see that they added claude code to pro plan. But you will only get 10-40 prompts every 5 hours. What do you guys think?

Does Claude Code work with the Claude desktop app?
What are the system requirements to run Claude Code?
Is Claude Code secure?
Claude Opus 4.5, our frontier coding model, is now available in Claude Code for Pro users. Pro users can select Opus 4.5 using the /model command in their terminal.
Opus 4.5 will consume rate limits faster than Sonnet 4.5. We recommend using Opus for your most complex tasks and using Sonnet for simpler tasks.
To get started:
* Run claude update
* /model opus
When I try to switch /model
I get this message "Want Opus 4.5? Run /upgrade to get the Max plan or /extra-usage to turn on extra usage"
and only the option to pick from 1. Sonnet and 2. Haiku
I used to subscribe to the Pro plan back in the Claude 3.5–4.0 era, but I canceled because Opus would burn through my usage limits way too fast to feel practical.
Recently, OpenAI Codex’s usage limits have gotten pretty bad, so I’m thinking about switching back to Claude. If I resubscribe, I’d pretty much use it exclusively for Claude Code.
For anyone currently on Pro: how usable are the Opus limits these days when coding? Is it sustainable for daily development, or does it still run out quickly?
I just had my usage reset, and on my first request I got this error message:
Claude Opus 4 is not available with the Claude Pro plan. If you have updated your subscription plan recently, run /logout and /login for the plan to take effect
Maybe I am mistaken about it ever being available, but /model indicated it was selected (automatic for 50% of usage, then sonnet). Just wanted to throw it out in case this is new :/
Been using the $100 Claude Code plan for 2 months. The default /model (Opus for 20% of usage, then Sonnet 4) was meh. Opus burned out in 15 mins on basic tasks, like driving a Ferrari to grab the mail. The new "Opus Plan Mode" is a game-changer! Worked 8 hours today, never hit the Opus limit. Opus handles the big thinking, Sonnet cranks through the work. I push back on plans until they're spot-on, and I 1 shot complex tasks all day. I skip heavy configs since Claude Code updates often as I'm here to get stuff done fast, not master it. If you haven't tried Opus Plan Mode, you're missing out!
just type:
/model claude-opus-4-5-20251101
