User Test: Claude Pro $20 Subscription Burns 20% Quota in One Prompt

A software engineering intern shared their frustration with the Claude Pro subscription: a single prompt about an SDK (where the model only read two documents and generated no code yet) consumed 20% of the 5-hour usage limit. Comparing it to the Google Antigravity platform—which offers free, unlimited access to Claude Sonnet/Opus—they found the standalone Claude subscription to be extremely poor value for money and asked whether they should switch to Codex or continue using Gemini.
