Thinking of switching from API access to Max 20x tomorrow for a more consistent bill.

Been using $50-100 of Opus tokens through API access per day. Think I’ll hit the Max 20x limits and get put in timeout?

I wish Max could automatically overflow to API access when it times out so I would need to have token anxiety.

I moved to Max after projecting a $2,000 annual API bill. I haven't yet hit five hour limits, but login/ toggles easily between plans. I believe the interface tells you when you've hit a limit, but as I said I don't know first hand.

According to CCUsage, I hit limits on Opus usage around the equivalent of $150. If we naively extrapolate, that suggests about $600 of Opus usage per session on Max 20x.
