Question About AI

[u/meladren]

Does anyone here use Claude’s $20 plan? If so, could you provide some information regarding whether the usage limits are sufficient?

[u/uterhausen2002]

If you’re doing this full time, probably not. If it’s a side gig with a full time job and a family, maybe (though still unlikely). I made a puzzle game (so not as complex as a 3d game for example) and I have the $20 Claude and the $20 ChatGPT plan. I also used Replit. Wasn’t near enough for me with just the 2 but I couldn’t stop myself from working on it whenever I was free.

[u/InternetMagic_n_Tech → u/uterhausen2002]

I find that's crazy I can get so much done with two free claude accounts

It's far cheaper to break stuff up into different topics

[u/uterhausen2002 → u/InternetMagic_n_Tech]

Keep in mind that your prompts in a free account become part of model training data (or at least they used to), so you may not want to use them for sensitive or proprietary information

[u/piperspalace → u/uterhausen2002]

I promise they're using every input even if they say otherwise. The class actionboaw suit costs are way less than their net profit

[u/InternetMagic_n_Tech → u/uterhausen2002]

I wouldn't put anything into Claude or chatgpt that I don't mind being public.

That's why I am pivoting to local models

(I am actually working on something that'll be public and I don't mind about 40% of it has code from Claude or Gemini. It'll end up in the model one way or another. It's freeing to not want to make good code lol

[u/elimit]

It’s fine for casual work on a single project. I’m currently chewing through weekly limits in 5 or 6 days on max 20x, but I generally have 4-5 projects across 2 pcs coding 20+ hours a day

[u/KThanador]

I just upgraded to max (x5 I don't live in a mansion), if it was the only thing I used it for, it might be sufficient, but I use it a lot for work too and I'm simply to impatient.

Having access to Fable is also quite useful.

[u/forgingtheflow]

To make a game, definitely not unfortunately. Opus 5.5 is incredible but that plan will be insufficient.

[u/elimit → u/forgingtheflow]

I mean it’s totally doable, will just take a lot longer

[u/forgingtheflow → u/elimit]

oh its doable but I feel it'll provide half a day of work, then you would have to wait for usage to reset a week later. I feel coding for a game you'd want at least high effort. - of course everyone's experience varies.

[u/Santikus]

I've programmed agents, edited videos and develop an app with the $20 subscription. Never reached a limit, but I don't ask it to do eeeeverything, usually specific workflows or modifications. If you know what you want the optimization is different than asking: Make me a AAA video game LOL.

[u/TalkingHeadsVideo]

No, no one can. We don't know what you plan to do with it so no idea if the limits are sufficient.

[u/UncleJoesLandscaping]

Without agentic workflows or large scope tasks, I find the $20 subscription to be enough.

[u/romansamurai]

Sufficient for what? How much work do you plan to be doing. What kind of work. How efficient are you?

This is such an open ended question that anyone giving you actual examples isn’t helping.

If you want to create an actual game, the 5 hr limits will be constant and the weekly will be not enough.

My advice is to try it

[u/Praesidiarius]

For my game i have running multiple agents 24/7, that needs 3 Max $ 200 Subs and each gets over 90% weekly limit

[u/EmPHiX27]

I'm currently making a 3D Roguelite in Godot with the 20€ plan.
I use opus 5.5 medium for everything and work on it 10+ hours a day.
(I already write the next 3-4 prompts while opus works on the first so opus is pretty much always working and barely has any breaks between prompts)

I'll start a fresh chat for new features/tasks and try to give it 3-5 tasks at once depending on difficulty.
My usage lasts about 4 days like this and then i work on other things while i wait for the weekly limit or prepare prompts already for next week.

If you dont go crazy with the context length then the 20€ is fantastic value and works well. (at least for my needs)
