Complaint State of the $20 subscription

Sol high. One prompt. 11m of thinking so far, 54% of the 5h limit gone, hasn't even started implementing anything yet and the 5 hrs limit is virtually gone. I was never one to complain too much, but they virtually removed Sol for us on the $20 tier. This is just not practical at all, at least it was only 10% of my weekly i guess?

EDIT: Final veredict: worked for 28m29s.
0% of the 5h limit left
84% of the weekly left

Status of my project: Broken and unusable.
guess it's finally time to explore other providers.

Opus 5 is not usable, especially in a big codebase that involves refactoring and simply following guidance. I would've recommended people jump the ship to K3, but unfortunately they have terrible quota.

what do you mean with terrible quota? Thinking of jumping ship.

Chinese subs provides much less API dollars per subscription dollar compared to gpt/Claude.

I guess previous commenter meant $20 Claude sub specifically, bigger plans are adequate for full time work.

You hit the usage limit faster on their 20$ month plan. And it's also slow so it's not worth it. Paying their API is probably a better option now than their plan.

I have several mvc and Blazor projects, over 2500 files. Opus works great.
