I am on the 200 a month max plan and I hitting the limits on a daily basis. With this being said, I'm typically running 3 to 4 terminals at the same time with multiple saved terminal sessions as well. I also have it set to run multiple tools simulateanously using, "For maximum efficiency, whenever you need perform multiple independent operations. invoke all relevant tools simultaneously rather then sequentially." I use for fetch, database commands, browsing through logs, and numerous other functions. I also have different double actions in place if I am working on something important and I need it to do oversight on what it is producing. More on reddit.com

Worth It for Claude Code? My Breakdown vs. API Costs
June 7, 2025 - Claude Max is an absolute steal however you put it. It's really cheap for what it is. In plain simple words, here is how usage goes. If you code a single project, single terminal, you will never hit the 5 hour window, UNLESS you automate some very long refactoring work which has Claude Code always running with minimal or no intervention.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Is Claude Code really this expensive?
June 28, 2025 -

Just tried Claude Code for the first time today and figured I would start with $5. I installed Claude Code for the first time on my machine, so everything should be 100% default settings.

My initial prompt was create a docker container that simulates a robotic lawnmower that can be controlled with a keyboard using ROS2 and Webots. I would like to be able to access Webots via a web browser using something like NoVNC.

I started in a completely empty project folder, and within 10 minutes my $5 was completely gone, and the amount of code generated was relatively minimal.

I checked my API usage and it shows that I used 12,140,970 tokens in and 36,683 tokens out using Claude Sonnet 4. Does it seem possible to use 12,140,970 input tokens in a brand new project in that short amount of time? Or is there something else going on here?

EDIT:

I understand that a subscription price will be cheaper, but I'm more worried about the tokens— at 12+M tokens in 10 minutes, am I going to reach a subscription limit in a short period of time? Like is Claude somehow mistaking other files on my system for context?
