It is not the plan they want you to buy. It is a pricing strategy to get you to buy the 20x plan.

5x Max is the plan I use because the Pro plan limits out so quickly. I don't use Claude full-time, but I do need Claude Code, and I do prefer to use Opus for everything because it's focused and less chatty.

Sure, I get it. For me a 2x Max would be ideal and usually enough. Now, guess why they are not offering that?

Same here. I'd love a 2x Max plan! More than enough usage for my needs.

Just make two plans and switch, when one of them is exhausted.

		Yes, I hear that is what people do. Annoying though.
