I’d bet almost everyone who opts to buy the $200 plan is happy with the deal they’re getting relative to API pricing.

I think some people get triggered by the inconsistency in pricing or the idea of having a fixed cost for somewhat vague usage limits.

In practice it’s a great deal for anyone using the model at that level.

It is not unlimited, being not careful with your context management, you hit the limits quickly.

Isn't the context window the same for all plans, 200k? You would hit usage limits?

If you send the full 200k tokens on every request you will get very few requests before you hit the token limit. Caching reduces the number sent but I don't know how much they can cache?

Even at the Max plan it's not unlimited. IIRC they say the limit is something like 20x the $20 plan.

With "normal use" you're unlikely to hit the limit though, unless you only use the Opus model and do things in parallell.
