I wanted to give Claude Code a try so I went with the $100 x5 Max Plan. I used Claude Code Desktop (Mac) with Opus 4.6. I asked him to give me an optimal folder structure for a simple project. He did some research on the web (documentation) like 4 or 5 times and gave me the output. Then I saw that just for this request, he used 40% of my session usage (reset in 4 hours). What the actual f*ck is that? It’s my first time using it and I’m really confused. How do people do to “vibecode” all day without reaching the limits if a simple question about project structure already uses 40% a session usage? I don’t get it Are people mostly using Sonnet and just granularly choose Opus from time to time? Am I doing something wrong? submitted by /u/Choupika8
