Sorry, ClaudeCode is $200/mo? I’m not using it now, but was thinking about giving it a try. The website shows $200/year for Pro:

“$17 Per month with annual subscription discount ($200 billed up front). $20 if billed monthly.”

https://claude.com/pricing

What are you referring to that’s 10x that price? (Conversely, I’m wondering why Pro costs 1/10 the value of whatever you’re referring to?!?)

They don't exactly put it front and center. Click "usage limits" (at the bottom; https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9797557-usage-limit-b...) then "Max plan" in the first list (https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11014257-about-claude...). There is a $200/mo price which people are likely referring to with "20x more usage per session" (which kinda bothers me because I'd bet my bottom dollar it's 20x "as much" but that's a lost cause).

I got a pro subscription yesterday. With it you get a certain amount of tokens and you have a certain limit every 5 hours and every week.

Once the limit is reached, you can choose to pay-per-token, upgrade your plan, or just wait until it refreshes. The more expensive subscription variants just contain more tokens, that’s all.

Right. I understand the potential for maximum usage (and abusing) of Claude in production. I don't suspect Claude will get caught too easily giving free beer.

We'll both find out if Pro's token limits are sufficient for spending a weekend on a learning project, and what the fallback looks like.

Keep scrolling down, there is a Max option

Theres a heavier max plan
