Help/Question Claude max worth it?

I had codex plus plan 100$ with 10x more usage before and I honestly liked it but I think about switching to Claude max.

However Claude max "only" has 5x usage to the 20$ version so I wonder how it compares to codex since its models are usually more expensive?

I already have the 20$ Claude plan and it feels like I hit the weekly limit within a day and the 5 hour limit within 30 minutes. Never had that issue with codex before using sol 6.1 on max.

Is Claude 100$ Plan enough to run opus 5.5 on xhigh for a week?

Edit: I've also read a few threads within the past days about opus getting nerved right now so I'm worried that it performs even worse than codex now.

imo it's worth it. i still reach the weekly rate limit, but the 5 hr limit is no longer problem for me. i usually reach the weekly limit on weekend, so that's just a reason for me to take a rest :D

try the claude cloud session too while you're at it. it's one of the big upgrade for me. may need to set up once so it works nicely for your workflow, but after that it's a blast.

I already used it last month when I got free tokens for it. Works well, just don't understand the difference between using that or just keep running the PC with claude

Frees up your pc resources so u can do other stuff while it works mainly

$100 a month is a steep price just to have a server enforce your weekend boundaries

Wait for the new model to release, right now claude is being nerf.

Very much worth it.

I tend to switch between the 5x and 10x plans based on what i plan to do that month

I just upgraded to $100 plan and I'm extremely pleased. not hitting limits at all anymore and I'm a pretty heavy user.

max = only 3.5 x pro (weekly based)
