I used the legacy plan with only the 5 hour limits on lite. It was super awesome but sadly not comparable to the new plan.

Currently I am on the new max plan with the 5hr limits and weekly limits, I can't speak for the credit plan. Using it exclusively in zcode because of the usage multiplier + the harness is genuinely good.

Easily do a billion tokens per week on my limits and generally have no problems with limits, however if I use it during peak hours I will hit the 5hr limit super fast even in zcode.

Zcode gives much more usage: Normal hours 1x -> 0.67x usage multiplier Peak hours 3x -> 2x usage multiplier

Peak lines up with the afternoon for me and I prefer coding morning/night so its not really a problem + I have the codex $20 plan and opencode go so I can always use other subs during peak hours.

If the peak hours are your main work hours (its a 4 hour window) then the value is going to be MUCH lower, especially in CC or other harnesses (1/3rd the usage limits is harsh).

It does also change a bit depending on demand, so I recommend getting the max plan because you get priority access if you really like the model, it would be a 10/10 recommendation for me if it had vision but rn its mainly useful for backend or throw away internal tools where IDK about the UI as much.

You don't need to run the model locally if you don't care about sharing your data. Personally I am happy to share data with Kimi or Deepseek if it means we get better OSS models. For private stuff though local is king

This is huge for me too, I was working on something super benign the other day and GPT flagged it for Cyber risk, Deepseek just does the work, its fast and cheap. Its only missing image support IMO, once deepseek cracks image too its going to be hard for anthropic and openai to compete.

Time to leave for something else if you haven't already, vscode has been good to us but this kind of behavior is only going to ramp up as Microsoft seeks to get a return on their AI investments.

Thats really interesting, yeah I think that audio alone can be helpful. The notification though is actually really important now that you mention it I will see if I can add that in the next update!

Great idea! I will add that ASAP

Thank you <3

Thats great! I got the idea from a similar setup actually, I set this app up so you can connect and disconnect any time though so you dont have to walk into the room to accept the call.
