A user asks how much more expensive usage-based Claude API credits are compared with Anthropic’s Premium/Max subscription plans.
They mention that they previously left GitHub Copilot after it moved to usage-based pricing, because the real cost ended up around 5–6× higher than expected. They want a similar cost assessment for Claude’s flagship models.
