it's beyond me, why do you need Max plans? I use Opus/Sonnet/Gemini,GPT 5.2 every day in cursor and I'm not paying Claude Max.

I'm mostly just coding at night after the family goes to bed and even I can hit Claude Pro limits - and I started AI assisted programming when we didn't have monthly plans and I had to pay every token out of my own pocket.

I learned to be pretty efficient with token use after the first bill dropped :D
