FYI Opus is available and pretty usable in claude-code on the $20/Mo plan if you are at all judicious.

I exclusively use opus for architecture / speccing, and then mostly Sonnet and occasionally Haiku to write the code. If my usage has been light and the code isn't too straightforward, I'll have Opus write code as well.

That's helpful to know, thanks! I gave Max 5x a go and didn't look back. My suspicion is that Opus 4.5 is subsidised, so good to know there's flexibility if prices go up.

		The $20 plan for CC is good enough for 10-20 minutes of opus every 5h and you’ll be out of your weekly limit after 4-5 days if you sleep during the night. I wouldn’t be surprised if Anthropic actually makes a profit here. (Yeah probably not, but they aren’t burning cash.)
