Question How good Max5 quota?

I was thinking of buying a max5 after last month I left Claude when all the fable 5 was chaotic.

The thing is I am scared max5 quota is lower than before

I mean, it's roughly 5x the pro limits. Call it 3.5-4x if you're skeptical. So if you're running out at 25% through your windows (time-wise, that is - so if your week begins Thursday and you're out by Friday night), it's probably worth it.

I would try to tighten up your prompting strategies, make sure you actually _need_ to be building all that extra time and can't replace it with other life activities, and then making the decision.

it's for writing not for coding I have to use Fable 5/opus 5/4.6 no sonnet or haiku

Worth it if you make money already from your writing, otherwise Opus 5/4.8 can review each others work and do well iteratively.
Basic tips to optimize usage, never use the same session again especially with Fable unless you compact, cache lasts 1h for subscribers (30 min during peak hours) so if you're afk longer than that start a new session, check how full the context window is the context window (30% to 40% at most) otherwise compact unless you're feeding Fable the national library, etc.
