Claude Max x5 users report burning a weekly reset in one 54-minute session, and the switching threads name limits, not quality
A Max x5 user posted a /usage screenshot after a single 54-minute Opus 5 max-effort session at ~160k tokens consumed a fresh weekly reset, and the mod-bot summary after 100 comments records Pro, Max x5 and Max x20 users all confirming burn rates that feel about 3x faster than a week earlier. The 442-upvote 'I thought I will never say this about Fable' thread's own 200-comment summary lands on the same point: the reason people are downgrading is limits and cost, not that Astra is smarter. A separate 121-upvote panic about a '$321 total cost' in /usage was resolved by the community as API-equivalent value on a subsidised plan, not a bill, which is worth knowing before anyone else reads that field.
