Claude Code users beg for a $50 tier: Pro limits hit too fast, Max's 5x is overkill
Kingleyend · reddit · 2026-10-23
A heavy Claude Code user argues Anthropic is missing an obvious middle tier: the $20 Pro plan's 5-hour window dies within one or two long coding sessions, while the $100 Max plan offers 5x usage he'd never need. The remaining options — rationing sessions, overpaying for Max, or topping up with costlier API credits — all feel wrong. He proposes a $50 tier with 2.5x Pro usage and asks whether compute constraints or cannibalizing Max sales explain the gap.
