Annoyed with Jetbrains AI plugin
Been using the AI plugin for a few months. I have AI Pro with my All Products Pack, so 10 credits a month. So far I've struggled to use more than half of them (I don't use Junie, just ask it questions), and I don't think any of my queries till now has used more than 2 credits. Today I asked it how to do something, using Claude Sonnet, did what it said, and it didn't quite work. I still had 6.5 credits left. Switched to Opus and told it to try again. It generated a lot of the answer, then ran out of my 6.5 credits -- and not only that, but it didn't even show the text it had already generated! So I completely ran out of 2/3 my monthly limit with NOTHING to show for it!
Just sucked it up and bought a $20 Pro Claude Code subscription. Same question, again with Opus. It fixed it and used 9% of my 5 hour token limit and 1% of my weekly limit!
As an aside, people in r/ClaudeCode are whining about how little Opus they get with the $20 plan. From my limited experience so far, I'm totally satisfied! If this rate continues through the month, I'll be able to do A LOT for that $20!
