Value by kind of work
Turns of mixed coding work the allowance covers in a month, each kind on the plan’s cheapest model that is good enough. How this is worked out.
| Work mix | Turns a month | Per dollar |
|---|---|---|
| Light only (100% light) | 17k–35k | 855–1.8k |
| Mostly light (40% normal, 60% light) | 2.4k–4.9k | 119–246 |
| Balanced (5% frontier, 15% hard, 60% normal, 20% light) | 750–1.6k | 38–78 |
| Mostly hard (10% frontier, 40% hard, 40% normal, 10% light) | 488–1k | 24–51 |
On the balanced mix: frontier work on Opus 5.5 (max reasoning), counting 21% of a turn; hard work on Opus 5.5 (xhigh reasoning); normal work on Sonnet 5.5 (xhigh reasoning); light work on Haiku 5.5 (high reasoning).
How the figure was obtained
Anthropic publishes no absolute limit. Range from three independent measurements of real usage valued at API list prices with heavy caching: wokey.ai (meter readings across subscriber accounts, November 2026), SemiAnalysis (controlled calls against the usage meters, October 2026, quoted from secondary coverage of its paywalled charts) and Real API Pricing (Opus 5.5 usage read against the weekly meter, September to November 2026). The monthly API credits on Max and Ultra are not counted: they cannot be spent in Claude Code.
