Output

🔄 Revised: Max 20x + Max 5x Strategy

Your Two Accounts

Account Tier Cost (USD) Quota Level
Primary Max 20x $200/mo 20× Pro quota
Secondary Max 5x $100/mo 5× Pro quota
Combined $300/mo 25× Pro quota

💡 This is Smart

With two Max accounts, you get 25× combined quota with separate weekly reset cycles. When your 20x hits 100%, the 5x is still available. Plus both accounts get Opus access (Pro doesn't get Opus 4.5 at all).

🎯 Routing Strategy

Task Type Route To Reason
Heavy coding (tools, edits) Max 20x Largest quota pool
Quick Turn / chat Max 5x Preserve 20x for big tasks
20x quota exhausted Max 5x Auto-failover
Both quotas exhausted Extra usage (20x) Last resort

🛠️ Konui Implementation

# konsole/.env
CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS=max20x,max5x
CLAUDE_ACCOUNT_MAX20X_EMAIL=primary@...
CLAUDE_ACCOUNT_MAX5X_EMAIL=secondary@...
CLAUDE_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=max20x
CLAUDE_QUICKTURN_ACCOUNT=max5x

UI Elements:

  • Account toggle in status bar: [20x ▼]
  • Quota indicators: 20x: 45% | 5x: 80%
  • Auto-switch notification when failover occurs

⚠️ Technical Consideration

Claude Code CLI authenticates via OAuth to ~/.claude/. To switch accounts, we'll need either:

  • Option A: Separate home dirs per account (HOME=/home/claude-20x vs /home/claude-5x)
  • Option B: Symlink swap (~/.claude~/.claude-20x or ~/.claude-5x)
  • Option C: API key auth if Claude CLI supports it (needs investigation)

💰 Cost vs Current Approach

Approach Monthly (USD)
Current: Max + heavy extra usage $100 + ~$200+ extra
New: Max 20x + Max 5x $300 flat
Benefit Predictable + 25× quota
