alt Hacker NewsThis is also super relevant for everyone who had ditched Claude Code due to limits:
> For Claude and Claude Code users with access to Opus 4.5, we’ve removed Opus-specific caps. For Max and Team Premium users, we’ve increased overall usage limits, meaning you’ll have roughly the same number of Opus tokens as you previously had with Sonnet. We’re updating usage limits to make sure you’re able to use Opus 4.5 for daily work.

It’s important to note that with the introduction of Sonnet 4.5 they absolutely cratered the limits, and the opus limits in specific, so this just sort of comes closer to the situation we were actually in before.
Interesting. I totally stopped using opus on my max subscription because it was eating 40% of my week quota in less than 2h
Just avoid using Claude Research, which I assume still instantly eats most of your token limits.
I like that for this brief moment we actually have a competitive market working in favor of consumers. I ditched my Claude subscription in favor of Gemini just last week. It won't be great when we enter the cartel equilibrium.
