User hits Claude Opus 5.5 weekly limit fast, juggles AI subscriptions as prices fall
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-09-30
The author says he rarely hits usage caps, but the new Opus 5.5 model burned through his weekly limit last week. He credits (blames) the subagent architecture for being so effective that his terminal workflow — running both Claude and Codex — got him capped.
His takeaway: with AI subscriptions becoming commoditized, the rational move is pitting one provider's plan against another as prices keep dropping — or eventually picking up cheap GPUs to build a local setup.
