I max out my $200/month Claude plan. You are obviously just not taking advantage of it to the same level as others. Which is fine. Don't pay for something you don't need. But I would definitely take a massive productivity hit if I had 1/20th the usage.

Are you also talking about personal projects? That wouldn't be enough for me for work either, but for personal use, my $20 Codex subscription is perfectly fine. Then again, as a new dad, I can maybe only work on personal projects for 1 hour in the evening if things go well, so for my current situation in life, it's enough.

Same here and my codex plan. I have to wait until next week to get back to work.

Just depends on commitment, time, and scope. Personally I also use the 20$ plans. But people spend 200$ for a gym membership. So shrug.

People use Claude Code for professional reasons. Waiting is not a luxury when there is a deadline.

Gemini? Are you locked into google as that's an odd choice.
