Are you using Opus? Sonnet remains as useful as it was while Opus efficacy and token burn rate has soured over the last 4 months.


I'm using Opus on xhigh 10+ hours a day, and I've only reached 80% of weekly limits when doing massive ports or refactors. I haven't once hit hourly limits, and I've used Claude very, very aggressively. I guess its a pain point for power users.


I sometimes run multiple claudes at the same time, with each terminal working on a different task. I have 2 going right now.

Its very easy to burn through your quota if you work like that. Especially on high / xhigh.


I used to be mostly at high/xhigh but now at medium I think it actually performs quite well both on results and token usage.


Yes, I've pretty much used Opus exclusively for the last year, except for a brief period when Sonnet was ahead
