Influenced by many comments on this site, I recently switched from $10 Github Copilot to $20 Claude Code and so far haven't seen any benefits. Maybe it's because I don't know how to 'close the agentic loop' in this project. I thought it being more agentic meant I can just tell it to research a subsystem on its own and plan the changes I want, but that caused it to spawn 3 subagents and consume the entire 4-hour token limit. Copilot feels more frugal with token usage.

Ah, that makes sense. After all, Anthropic is selling tokens, so they would like you to consume more of them.

The $100 Claude plan is the minimum, I feel. Otherwise you run out of tokens way too often.

This is probably true and not emphasized enough. Many are making their value judgements with token limits (which is fair, it is expensive).
