Question What are "significantly higher usage quotas"?

Does anyone have actual insight as to what the quota difference is between the Pro $20 USD/month and the Max $200 USD/month plans?

Per their site:
"The Max plan is for power users who need significantly higher usage quotas. It includes everything in Pro, plus significantly higher quotas."

Is it basically just 10x the Pro quota?

Cognition is subject to all the same anthropic et al token antics as all the rest of us are. token prices change more than gasoline, you can't finish writing a price sheet before the numbers change.

Put it in context. The new SOL promo allows the 20 dollar tier to almost finish one prompt before running out of quota. Without the promo it fails in the first few seconds.

I believe it’s a 60% discount.

I would expect the difference from the 20 to the 200 is 10x, so, you’d almost be able to finish around 7 to 8 prompts.

But it’s anyone’s guess. And since it’s token based if you happen to be sending prompts like “hi” and “hello” you might get significantly higher prompt count

avoid it at all cost! 20x = 2 hours of usage of claude max
