alt Hacker NewsHave they effectively communicated what a 20x or 10x Claude subscription actually means? And with Claude 4.7 increasing usage by 1.35x does that mean a 20x plan is now really a 13x plan (no token increase on the subscription) or a 27x plan (more tokens given to compensate for more computer cost) relative to Claude Opus 4.6?

The more efficient tokenizer reduces usage by representing text more efficiently with fewer tokens. But the lack of transparancy does indeed mean Anthropic could still scale down limits to account for that.
a few months ago it was for weekly:
pro = 5m tokens, 5x = 41m tokens, 20x = 83m tokens
making 5x the best value for the money (8.33x over pro for max 5x). this information may be outdated though, and doesn't apply to the new on peak 5h multipliers. anything that increases usage just burns through that flat token quota faster.
Anthropic isn't going to give us that information. It's not actually static, it depends on subscription demand and idle compute available.
