Switching to Opus 5.5 cuts usage from 80% to 25% on the $200 plan
DeadNetStudios · reddit · 2026-09-30
A Reddit user reports a real-world usage comparison: with Fable 5.1 as their main model, they consistently hit 80% of their $200 plan's weekly allowance; after switching to Opus 5.5, the same workload consumes only about 25%. They ask whether others have noticed the improvement, implying Opus 5.5 is far more efficient on subscription quota.
