I’ve noticed that an increasing number of people are hitting the usage caps on Claude Max ($200/month). For those of you on the Enterprise plan, how do you actually manage the issue of massive token consumption? Does Anthropic allow Max subscribers to purchase "top-up" tokens? Or are you completely blocked by a "hard wall" once you hit the limit, forced to wait until the next billing cycle to resume usage?
Just moved to NYC for a risk engineering role (recent Duke grad here), and I’m losing my mind with these subscription limits. I’m currently subbed to Cursor Pro and Claude Pro for data modeling and Python automation—mostly handling macro indicators and some supply chain stuff for my family’s business back home.
During market hours in Midtown, the "Pro" experience feels more like a "Trial" version. I hit the Sonnet 3.5 limit by lunch, and the fallback models are basically useless for complex risk logic. $20/mo sounds cheap until you realize you need three different accounts just to get through a workday without the model "forgetting" half the context window.
I see a lot of deals in this sub for credits and cheap accounts, but has anyone actually found a way to get unlimited high-speed access without the "peak hour brain fog"? Or am I the only one burning through "unlimited" plans in 4 hours?
Honestly, I’m about to ditch the retail subs and just look for a dedicated API line. NYC is too expensive to be paying for tools that quit on me before my second espresso.
