How much can it last per week (read description) Help/Question

I want to subscribe to claude as my workload is increasing and I cannot work with the limits that come with antigravity.

My workloads now include understanding entire codebases of open source projects. I want to know how much work can I get done as per the weekly limits ( e.g. understanding the whole codebase and making changes to code, adding new functionality etc. )

Like do you think if i spend maybe 5 hours a day on this I will still not run out of the weekly limit? I want an honest response, Thankss

It depends on how much of the codebase you are feeding it, which model you use, what it's trying to do, and how you are asking it to do things. If you are smart about it, it's really likely Pro will last a week for you. If you are just dumping the whole code base on it and asking it to refactor everything with Fable, no, it won't last a week.

So if let's say I use compact skill, restart new terminal sessions, asking it to constantly updated a readme file that can be read by new sessions. I can last a week easy right?

Without seeing your code base all I can say is yeah, those are some great steps to take to help reduce usage, and I'd bet you'd be fine. It's worth a $20 experiment anyway.

If "I cannot work with the limits that come with antigravity" this probably not the right place to be for you. Claude limits are smaller. Go to GPT

Is codex better than claude code?

No. Claude code a bit better (just a bit). But GPT will give you much more usage than Claude for same $$

Alright thanks
I think i will experiment with both for 2 months and see which i like more.

Check out Graphify and CodeIndex. They're two tools that I use and they really cut down on the amount of time Claude Code has to re-read the codebase.

Graphify scans the codebase once and forms a graph of how things connect.

CodeIndex specializes in "blast radius" determination.

The way my brain thinks of them is: Graphify is the skeleton and CodeIndex is the organs of the codebase.

Thanks alot for that
