TL;DR; based on your experience, how long does it take to hit the rate limit with Max 5x? I’m pretty disappointed with the Pro plan. If I only used the Claude website, I’d actually get less usage than on the free plan because I hit 100% so quickly. I’ve seen others mention the same issue. I mainly signed up for the Pro plan because of Claude Code, but I can barely get an hour before hitting the limit. Yes, I’ve tried every tip, used Codegraph, and other techniques to save context. That’s with Claude Sonnet, by the way. I’m writing this post now because I tried running Opus to plan and execute a milestone, and I hit the rate limit in under 10 minutes, twice. Anthropic says Max gives you 5x more usage, but if that translates to 5 hours with Sonnet or 50 minutes with Opus, then it doesn’t feel worth the price. So I want to hear from you: does Max actually unlock your workflow, or does it just delay when you hit the wall? submitted by /u/SchokoladeCroissant
