> 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. These limits are specific to Opus 4.5. As future models surpass it, we expect to update limits as needed.
It looks like they've now added a Sonnet cap which is the same as the previous cap:

Quite interesting. From their messaging in the blog post and elsewhere, I think they're betting on Opus being significantly smarter in the sense of 'needs fewer tokens to do the same job', and thus cheaper. I'm curious how this will go.
