Community screenshot (provided by the maintainer, 2026-10-03): one Claude Code /usage session of claude-opus-5-5 with in 23.0k / out 3.0m / cache read 1.3b / cache write 5.6m (CC shows $366.96) = 19% of the weekly quota (all models), Fable weekly 0%; claude-max5x-opus55-round1-2026-10-03.json
15.769B→18.334B (2026-10-03: direct measurement replaces the value derived as 20x÷2, low→medium, Anthropic tier): segment worth $364.89 (read 1.3B×$0.2 + 1h write 5.6M×$8 + in 0.023M×$4 + out 3.0M×$20, priced at the actual write tier) ÷19% ×4 weeks = monthly $7681.94 ÷ Anthropic-tier blended price $0.419/MTok; the community screenshot's origin is unconfirmed and whether all of the 19% belongs to this session is unknown — if there was other usage that week, Opus took fewer pp and the weekly pool is larger, so this value is conservative; 19% is an integer reading, 18.5~19.5% gives 17.864B~18.829B; 1.3b has only two significant figures (±0.05b ≈ ±3.7%); the screenshot shows a 1h TTL and the CC price of $366.96 closes at 1h writes; cache write at the 5m $5 price gives 17.49B, kept for comparison; raw-total basis 27.55B kept for comparison; haiku-4-5 ($0.06) not counted; tension: with the 20x weekly pool = 5x×2, 20x would be about 36.668B, 16% above the 20x adopted value 31.538B — 20x is unchanged for now, and 5x/20x are no longer the same price or merged into one point

X @MiaAI_lab tweet (screenshot provided by the maintainer): xHigh burned 1.0305B raw in 1h2m = ~75% of the 5h limit; claude-opus55-round1-2026-09-23.json; round10 item #15 Max 20x ≈5.5 full windows/week (claude-adoption-round10-2026-09-25.json); Claude Pro × Opus 5.5 adopted sample (issue #52 + Reddit segment) ×10; claude-opus55-max20x-round2-2026-09-30.json
30.17B→31.538B (2026-09-30 decision, Anthropic tier): each path converted to Max 20x weekly-quota percentage points, then merged per pp — (i) the MiaAI window worth $471.10 (write at 5m; closes against the tweet's $482.63) = 75% of a window ÷ 5.5 windows/week = 13.636 weekly pp, 32.981B alone; (ii) the Pro × Opus 5.5 merged worth $628.00 / 196.333 Pro pp ÷ Max 20x weekly quota = Pro×10 → 19.633 weekly pp, 30.536B alone; the two paths differ by 8%. Not adopted: Pro 5h/week 13.333% (7.5 windows) applied directly to Max 20x gives 44.97B (Max 20x windows 20×, week 10× — the window/week ratio differs from Pro's); the official-multiplier derivation with 3.75 windows/week gives 22.49B (the MiaAI window is only 15.5× a Pro window, not 20× — inconsistent with both multipliers at once); equal-weight mean 31.758B; the #65 mixed sample not yet handled. Original 301.7 decision text — new 30.17B: 5h pool 1.0305B÷~75% = 1.374B raw (the 9/22 release had already raised Pro/Max/Team 5h caps, so the window pool reflects release-period basis); implied weight 7.15/13.74 = 0.5204×Opus5 → monthly pool 157÷0.5204; the list-price blend ratio 0.5143 independently corroborates (alternative 30.528B differs by 1.2%); the sample closes at the new price $471.1≈tweet $482.63 (+2.4%); n=1 tweet with no panel, ~75% rounded reading (monthly interval about 28.3B~32.2B), effort only affects rate; if official weights deviate from the price ratio (Fable 6.5× precedent) it must be re-derived; direct weekly-pool panel measurement or post-reset controlled saturation could raise it to high

Tier: claude.com/pricing (verified 2026-10-08) Premium seat $125/mo monthly, $100/mo annual; official text says 5x a Standard seat's usage, and the Standard seat only says "more than Pro" with no specific multiplier (the multiplier is counted per 5-hour session); "6.25x Pro" is a community inference via Standard~=1.25x Pro, not an official figure; listed at the monthly-pay price $125. Self-consistency (by weekly list-worth, adopted*$0.419/4): this week $1,320.38 = 4.13x Pro's Opus 5.5 weekly $319.91 and 69% of Max 5x's directly measured weekly $1,920.49; if Premium were truly 6.25x Pro the monthly allowance would be about 19.088B and this value is only 66% of that; the draft's "poster says ~=Max 5x, 4~8% off" compared Team raw against a converted Max 5x figure, a unit mismatch, discarded. Weaknesses -> low: n=1 post; "fully used" is the poster's own claim and the panel shows no quota percentage; the third-party relay panel is not the official /usage and the seat is shared by the organizer; the 7-day rolling window is not aligned with the official weekly reset; whether the official seat pool shares weights with Pro/Max is unproven; 34% below the 6.25x Pro claim. The Team Standard seat ($20/yr or $25/mo) has no quota sample and is not plotted

X @SnowyWar36965 community report (2026-09-28, screenshot relayed by the maintainer): Droid Pro $20 running a Claude Opus 5.5 animation used about 70% of the 5h window; the poster converted equivalent API consumption to 5h≈$15.4, week≈$45, month≈$160 (Max 10x≈$154/$450/$1,600, roughly 176M/510M/1.8B tokens); droid-pro-opus55-community-round1-2026-09-29.json; https://factory.ai/pricing Pro $20/month
The poster's weekly list-worth $45×2 (Factory's 30-day window = 2× the 7-day window, ruling 2026-10-03) = $90 ÷ Anthropic-tier blended price $0.419/MTok = 215M (same basis as droid_max×opus-5.5; the poster's own token column 1.8B/$1,600≈$0.89/MTok reflects their own workload — not adopted); the poster's monthly value $160 (382M, the previously adopted value) is about 3.56× their weekly value, inconsistent with the 30-day window = 2× week — not adopted; weaknesses: verbal estimate, no panel screenshot or token breakdown, n=1, the 5h/week/month conversion undisclosed → low; comparison: the locally measured Droid Max monthly worth $1,058.45 ÷ official ≈10× gives Pro about $105.85 (253M); the poster's value is about 0.85× of that

X @xuanwo post (2026-10-05, screenshots relayed by maintainer): all Other Models usage on Cursor Ultra this billing cycle went to claude-opus-5-5-high; usage-events CSV export covering 9/14–10/5 has 176 Opus records (mostly 22:35 on 10/2 through 14:14 on the 5th, Beijing time); cursor-opus55-community-round1-2026-10-05.json
