Claude Max 20x faces value concerns against Astra due to token usage

A user on Reddit is questioning the value proposition of Anthropic's Claude Max 20x subscription, citing that its Fable 5.1 model uses significantly more tokens than Astra for coding tasks. Even with potential improvements like a doubled 5-hour limit and full weekly allowance access, the user calculates that Fable 5.1 would still only offer about half the effective coding capacity of Astra due to its higher resource consumption. The user emphasizes that the issue is not the quality of Fable 5.1, but its economic competitiveness under the current limitations. AI
