How are the limits compared to OpenAI models like 6.1 Sol? After the 200 dollar plan rugpull not sure if I should switch, however Anthropic has historically had worse usage limits than OpenAI.

  Limits have been decently comparable to 6.1 Sol anecdotally. Although it's subagent eagerness can make then comparison ebb/flow.
  The notable difference to me is tokens/sec are still much higher on 6.1 Sol

    This is also the reason why I'm swapping over to Anthropic for a month. 6.1 Sol seems good, but is unbearably slow even with 6.1 being more token efficient than 5.5.

    They said tk/s is higher on Sol, not higher than Sol.

    Oh yea, completely misread that. But still, it's been my experience that TPS is _lower_ on Sol 6.1 than Opus 5.5. To the point that 6.1 takes forever to finish a task.
    They did speed it up in the last few days [1], but I don't find it to be enough.
