$200 Claude sub equals ~10 weeks of usage in Theo's test; real token burn questioned

theo revealed the $200/month Claude sub delivered roughly 10 weeks of usage in his T3 Code testing. PawelHuryn cross-checked the screenshot (2 weeks x 9.5 subs) and notes he burns $8-9K/month worth of tokens on a single Max 20x, suspecting the "2 weeks" is an estimate. He also doubts the 5-hour limit mechanics and flags T3 Code hitting 100K MAU vs his 10K for Grok Build. A rare real-world accounting of Claude subscription limits.
