I've cancelled my Max 20x plan after hitting this and will try out Cursor Ultra or ChatGPT Pro + Codex for a month. Both are also $200/month.

The best thing to do is vote with your wallet; particularly if you're leveraging the tool for work.

I tried both and they're mostly useless for what I do (Rust, computer graphics). But so is Sonnet 4.5.

Best "Opus replacement" so far is using Codex for doing the thinking and writing the code which Sonnet 4.5 then goes over to make it actually compile ...

But that also means I now need to manually coordinate two models/agentic tools whereas before this was all mostly running automatic and all I did was specs, code reviews/write tests.

What this now comes down to, 10 USD/h for Opus 4.1 (20h of Opus/month @ 200 USD) is not worth it for me.

It seems https://jules.google.com/ is currently free? Has anyone tried this?
