New Pro500 plan not ready for prime time?
A user on Reddit expressed confusion and dissatisfaction with the new Pro500 plan, comparing it unfavorably to the Legacy Pro200 account. Having previously been content with the usage limits of their 200 Max account, they found that the Pro500 plan's weekly usage was depleted significantly faster—in about one-quarter of the time—when running the exact same sessions. This led them to question why the Pro500 plan is more expensive yet offers less usage than its predecessor.

I've had a 200 Max account since they released them, and have always been happy with the usage limits and honestly felt they were generous in comparison to my Anthropic Max account.
I switched to the Pro500 Plan yesterday after I used up the last of my resets, and I'm just really confused, with the exact same sessions that I was running with the Legacy Pro200, I burned through the Pro 500's weekly usage within like 1/4th of the time.
So Pro500 is more expensive, and has less usage than the Legacy Pro200 account? Wtf?
