Me and Opus have a lot in common. We both hit our weekly limit on Monday at 10am.

I use pay as you go for this very reason, so the limit is my pocket haha. It does make me conscious to keep it under $20 per month though.

You're overpaying by a factor of 4, easily. I use `ccusage`'s statusline in claude code, and even with my personal $20/mo subscription I don't think there's been a single month where I didn't touch ~$80 of usage. I wasn't even abusing it as bad as some people tend to.

How do you manage that? /ccusage and --ccusage no longer work for me, I can only see the usage bars in /usage

		Ah thanks, didn't realise it was a 3rd party library, thought it was a claude native command

You can use both btw. Get the $20 plan and turn on "extra usage" in billing. Then you can use the basic plan first and if it runs out, it uses token-based billing for the overflow.
