What a Claude plan actually buys, in API dollars

Anthropic quotes its plans as multiples of Pro, never as tokens. Measured against a production agent pipeline closing about 900 tickets a week: a Team Standard 5-hour window holds about $24 of Opus at API list price, a Max 20x window about $382. The 5-hour multiples are as advertised. The weekly ones aren't, and the week is the limit you hit. Plus what a ticket costs, and the review loop that was eating a fifth of the spend.
