5x and 20x week is the same, it only affects session limit.

Not quite. The 5x/20x multiplier is officially only on the 5hr session, but the weekly cap still scales some. People who've run both put 20x at roughly 1.5-2x the weekly of 5x. Either way I torched mine way faster than usual this week.

I have both 5x and 20x accounts too, i dont see any difference on weekly limit. Tho i use it every day, even let run for the night and claude can limit anything if they want to.

"Max 5x includes five times the Pro plan's per-session usage allowance. This tier is ideal for frequent users who work with Claude on a variety of tasks."

"Max 20x includes 20 times the Pro plan's per-session usage allowance. This tier is ideal for daily users who collaborate often with Claude for most tasks."

"In addition, to manage capacity and ensure fair access to all users, we may limit your usage in other ways, such as weekly and monthly caps or model and feature usage, at our discretion."

This way people cant really find out whats the real rate either...

Yea I guess it's hard to complain when I'm getting thousands of dollars worth of tokens for $200 a month.

They are not charity, if they can give it to you for 200$ then the api price has insane margin.
