best ai coding subscription under $20-30/month?

一位用户正在寻找每月20-30美元的AI编码订阅服务，以替代即将到期的ChatGPT Plus免费试用。他主要使用Codex和GPT-5.5进行“氛围编码”，并对GPT-5.5的代码质量感到满意，但其使用限制（每5小时约10次提示）导致他每周的使用量很快耗尽。…
hi everyone. my free trial of chatgpt plus is ending soon. i’ve been using codex + gpt-5.5 mostly for vibe coding, and i really liked it (its my first time using agents to help with code actually)
i can pay for a monthly subscription, but not something like $100/month. my realistic budget is around $20, maybe $30 max
the main issue is limits. with gpt-5.5 medium i get around \~10 prompts per 5-hour limit when working on my project. my weekly usage sometimes drops close to 0% in about 3 days if i code a lot. if i code less, it can last almost the full week
is there anything close to gpt-5.5 for coding, but with more tokens or better limits?
i also looked at claude, but people often say it is expensive and burns through limits fast. is that true? would something like sonnet 4.6 / sonnet 5 on medium last even less than chatgpt plus? who have used/compares them both, what can you say about claude
i also tried opencode go for $5 with glm-5.2, but it was pretty bad for me. with around 250k context it somehow used about $9 very quickly. i don’t understand how it burned through credits that fast. they also have minimax m3, deepseek v4 pro and some other models, but i don’t know if any of them are actually good enough for coding (mostly typescript coding)
what would you choose for vibe coding under $20-30/month?
i really care about 1. code quality close to gpt-5.5(medium, i love when it one shots with code) or about that 2. enough usage time to actually work for a while 3. good handling of a larger project context 4. no surprise credit burn from huge context
should i just stay with chatgpt plus + codex, or is there a better option right now for price / limits / code quality?
