Claude subscription margins questioned as $10 OpenCode Go plan swallows 3.4B tokens a month
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-21
A user claims the $20 Opus 5.5 subscription allows 800M tokens/week (3.2B/month), beating DeepSeek API pricing. teortaxesTex argues Claude subscriptions likely have thinner margins than Whale API, possibly negative at full limit exhaustion, while the $10 OpenCode Go subscription permits an absurd number of DeepSeek V4.1F tokens — his dashboard shows 2.2B tokens in 7 days and 3.44B in 30 days with only 10% of the weekly and 60% of monthly quota used.
