Hi everyone, I’m a university student currently working on a real-time project. Until now I’ve been using the free Antigravity plan, but the usage limit gets exhausted within about 30 minutes. To continue my work, I’ve had to switch between 8 different accounts, and even then my task still isn’t completed. I’m thinking of upgrading to the $20 Claude plan, mainly to use Claude Code with the Opus model, since I believe it might help me finish this project more efficiently. However, as a student I can’t afford the Max plan because it’s quite expensive for me. So I wanted to ask: • Roughly how many hours of Claude Code usage can I expect on the $20 plan with Opus? • Are there any strategies to use the limit more effectively? I’m also new to vibe coding, so I’m still learning how to use AI tools efficiently. Any tips, workflows, or advice from developers, senior devs, or anyone experienced with Claude Code would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Difficult-Dream2625
