    Can Anthropic introduce a $50 USD Plan ? I dont want to spend 100$ , but $20 plan is not enough for me.

      I also want this, even just $40 (i.e. "2x") would be plenty. The way it is right now, Pro is a tight squeeze but anything else is total overkill and I have no idea how I'd use those extra tokens productively.

        Just create two $20 plans and swap between them when you hit limits.

          How do you switch between then easily? Aka not logging out and in each time.

            You can use this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;FTCHD&#x2F;switcheroo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;FTCHD&#x2F;switcheroo

            I made it and been using it every day

          Is it easy to get CVP on two accounts at once? Do they make any attempt to prevent or penalize multi-account usage?

            Why would they? You are a paying customer for both accounts.

              I&#x27;m fairly sure maxing out the usage on a subscription costs them money.

      Would a plan with daily quota only work for you better? (no monthly&#x2F;weekly, just daily)

      You should try using claude as an orchestrator that hands off the actual building to codex models, works really well and you can save some sub usage
      1. azan_ · · focus · HN ↗
        How do you implement that in practice? Claude runs codex command or just calls API?

          I have definitely had some success at that in the past, I haven&#x27;t been leaning on it as hard the last month, but for a while 2 months ago I was doing a lot of prompts like: &quot;loop having Codex CLI and Antigravity CLI (`agy`) review your plans and changes up to 5 times until you all reach concensus&quot;.

          I have Claude run it in a terminal, not through the API. I just ask Claude to spawn a Codex terminal and send it a prompt, and Claude gets a message back when Codex finishes or gets stuck. I do that through my oss project Spaces (usespaces.dev). The steps are in this skill if you want to copy the pattern: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yogesh-dhande&#x2F;spaces-skills&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;skills&#x2F;handoff&#x2F;SKILL.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yogesh-dhande&#x2F;spaces-skills&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;ski...

          Without Spaces, tmux gets you most of the way: Claude opens a window running codex, sends the prompt with send-keys, and checks capture-pane to see when it&#x27;s done.

      Yep, exactly what I was thinking too…
