Some native Claude code options when your quota runs out:

1. Switch to extra usage, which can be increased on the Claude usage page: https://claude.ai/settings/usage

2. Logout and Switch to API tokens (using the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable) instead of a Claude Pro subscription. Credits can be increased on the Anthropic API console page: https://platform.claude.com/settings/keys

3. Add a second 20$/month account if this happens frequently, before considering a Max account.

4. Not a native option: If you have a ChatGPT Plus or Pro account, Codex is surprisingly just as good and comes with a much higher quota.

For me option 4 has been the move, but “just as good” I haven’t found that.

It’s slower and about 90% as good, so it definitely works as a great back up, but CC with Opus is noticeably better for all of my workloads

This completely depends on the domain, as always. Each of the big 3 have their strengths and weaknesses.
