I pay $20/m subscription, but nowadays hitting the limit and need to wait or spend an extra $ for tokens. I wonder whether it is worth getting $100/m subscription. How's the experience for those who have $100/m? Is it too much? Do you hit the limit? Or $20/m is fine for you?
I've been on the Max plan for about four months, and I've been using the Claude Code daily. I've been doing a lot of heavy research and coding for work, and I haven't even come close to hitting the limit. I think it's definitely worth it if you're consistently hitting yours.

I think it boils down to what you use the subscription for. If you are playing around, I wouldn’t justify spending hundreds, but if you are serious and the subscription helps you create products that give you real income, then I’d say get the best plan you can afford.

just use the API directly and skip the subscription. i run claude code with my own API key and spend like $30-40/mo on pretty heavy usage with zero limits. the subscription is basically a convenience tax for people who dont wanna deal with API keys

I hit the limit of the $100/m but I use Cowork to help me manage my company and tech stack.

That $80 jump is basically a "sanity tax" to avoid hitting those soul-crushing rate limit walls every day. It’s a steep price, but never having to wait for your tools to "recharge" is the ultimate workflow flex. Token traffic jams are the absolute worst!
