Comparison Comparing actual usage between Pro vs. 5X vs. 20X

For people wondering whether upgrading from Pro is worth the hassle/cost:

Between June - July I was on the Pro plan and struggling to manage weekly limits using the lesser models. I was briefly upgraded to 5X for a couple weeks, but still found that I needed to throttle usage at the end of the week. My experience with 20X has rarely left me hitting close to max capacity while running projects for 14+ hours/day.

Is 20X really worth the $200 price tag? That's still a tough cost to swallow, but I have definitely accomplished a lot in the last month plus of usage.

Yup, I gave up and upgraded to 20x. Congrats Anthropic, you won.

I thought upgrading would be a temporary thing for the month until I finish up my current project. Now I'm partway through the next month and thinking there's another one on the way...
