I’m on the $200/mo Max plan (Max 20x). Same workflows, wildly different consumption: Opus 4.5 : 5hr limit lasted 3-4 hrs Opus 4.6 + Agent Teams : 5hr limit gone in ~30-35 minutes Opus 4.6 solo : 5hr limit gone in ~1-2 hours Something changed on Anthropic’s end. Either Opus 4.6 outputs way more tokens per response, or the rate limit accounting shifted. Paying $200/mo and hitting the wall in 30 min feels wrong. Anyone else seeing this? Any cheaper alternatives that don’t sacrifice quality? submitted by /u/prakersh
