You can use an API key to get more usage on a pay-as-you-go basis.

  Yes, but that's so expensive I will never do it!

    With one months exception, I've never gotten past $150 with API. I plan to do the $100 plan and use the API for overflow. I think I will come out ahead.

      Well, lucky you! Before Claude Max was an option, I burned a lot of money using Claude Code, and that was while I was trying my best to use it as little as possible.

  You can set cash on fire if you want to.

    you spend 400$ per month on api usage, but your AI builds the next unicorn worth billions, where is the problem?

      For $2 you can have a lottery ticket that will win you a quater of a billion dollars.

      You might have better odds buying scratchers - assuming you even have $400/m to invest in an enterprise without cash flow

    i've gotten months of usage out of openai and claude where i seeded each with only $5 but if you use an agent and it tries to include a 500kb json file, yeah, you will light cash on fire (this happened to me today but the rate limit bright it to my attention.)

      Fortunately Ai companies are not (currently) like AWS - you can only burn as much money as you have on account. For brief, low context interactions, it is crazy how far your money goes.

  Just buy several Max tier subscriptions...
