I subscribed to Claude for a month. I sat down with it for a few sessions, but in each case I ran into a limit before I achieved anything worthwhile. And that was with me babysitting it the whole time to try to get the most out of it. I'm not sure it's possible to use it less (so that others can use it more) and get anything meaningful done.


Most small features take 80-150k tokens to implement, and most large features take 200-250k. For a hobbiest working like 10 hours a week, they can get stuff done but not nearly hit the weekly usage cap.
