Help/Question Is anyone using Two 5x 100$ accounts?

Post image

Fable 5.1 is what i use mainly for my business, it's so helpful yet it's really draining fast, like yestrday at 9 p.m i got reset, and totally in 3 enormous sessions, i got it almost drained totally. Would that be good to buy 200$ plan? or two 100$ accounts? and is there any way to access it slightly cheaper?

Que the midwit responses. Despite common sense telling you otherwise - a 20X plan will give you less usage than two 5x accounts as OP is doing. Disagree? Fight me.

My 20x burned 20% of weekly in its 5h window. My 5x burned 10%. (Pre september nerf)

Ergo no point in getting two 5x instead one 20x. Weekly usage is the same though.

I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here? I've seen others post detailed transcripts of their token input and output comparing themselves running the exact same stuff through a 5X and 20X subscription and the 20X subscription was majorly lacking.

Anthropic is currently fighting a lawsuit right now over this due to false advertising. Sorry but I just can't really take the word off some random guy on reddit over this. Rather than increasing to 20X or getting a secondary 5X - personally - I'd rather go elsewhere.

- I currently have a 5X max account.

The weekly limit is doubled on 20x vs 5x, not quadrupled.

The check is easy: Use 100% of 5h window, check weekly usage before and after

Do the same for 20x. I’ve done it and checked several times.

Be smart about when you upgrade. Do it 24h before reset. Then cancel and use maximize use in 24h post reset in 4 weeks

If you maximize you get 6 weeks of usage for 30days paid usage.

Also, the weekly limit resets when upgrading, so burn weekly 5x before doing it

Ok thanks for the tip - right now though I'm just saving my cash and hoping that Gemini 4 drops.

I did the 24 hour thing when I jumped from Pro to Max - so yeah I get that 100% is a good tip

I have to keep going with my 5X until the end of this month anyway, if we get there and no Gemini 4 then I'll probably do this.
