> That being said not all users max out their plan,

These are not cell phone plans which the average joe takes, they are plans purchased with the explicit goal of software development.

I would guess that 99 out of every 100 plans are purchased with the explicit goal of maxing them out.

I’m not maxing them out… I have issues that I need to fix, features I need to develop, and I have things I want to learn.

When I have a feeling that these tools will speed me up, I use them.

My client pays for a couple of these tools in an enterprise deal, and I suspect most of us on the team work like that.

If my goal was to max out every tool my client pays, I’d be working 24hrs a day and see no sunlight ever.

I guess it’s like the all you can eat buffet. Everybody eats a lot, but if you eat so much that you throw up and get sick, you are special.

My employer bought me a Claude Max subscription. On heavy weeks I use 80% of the subscription. And among software engineers that I know, I'm a relatively heavy user.

Why? Because in my experience, the bottleneck is in shareholders approving new features, not my ability to dish out code.

goal? yeah. but in reality just timing it right (starting a session at 7-8am, to get 2 sessions in a workday, or even 3 if you can schedule something at 5am), i rarely hit limits.

if i hit the limit usually i'm not using it well and hunting around. if i'm using it right i'm basically gassed out trying to hit the limit to the max.

There’s absolutely no way that’s true.

In saas this is not true. Most saas is highly profitable or was i suppose because they knew that most of their customers would never max out their plans.
