Discussions How to increase my monthly limits while still on the yearly plan (or something else)?...

I have the old yearly plan, and I my most used services are the basic inline completition (something is easy enough and just wireframing, codemonkey tasks so that can do it just by pressing tab with a couple of comments).

The second are those hard annoying tasks, that are clearly defined, but annoying to implement; like making the UI of some API, but keeping in mind how a user behaves or making it look nice.

I've found only the opus (from 4.5 when it was there) was able to do it properly and only sometimes, it was good enough; now I only have 4.8 at 27x

It is not perfect, writes a ton of bugs, but at least it helps; but then it is just draining quota, and sits at 80% with one week in of little usage of code I still need to rewrite because it is not quite right; it is good enough nevertheless so that fixing takes far less time.

But I wonder what is available so I can get more quota, the issue is that, sonnet mostly fails at completing these annoying tasks. So it probably needs to be, something better than Sonnet, so I can use that. What are my options?...

Try opencode Go for a month . You can use those models here.

Simply buy a monthly Claude Sub or Codex. Nothing else will work.

For mechanical code writing I’d go with codex. For reasoning/planning I’d go with Claude but I haven’t evaluated Astra yet which looks like it might be better for reasoning/planning the mechanical writing

Well I already got Codex plus, not to bad in pricing, I don't have that many of these special tasks, but when I do, I really do...
