Claude Pro users compare which models they actually use
A Reddit post in r/ClaudeAI shares one Pro-tier (not the pricier Max plan) subscriber's real usage breakdown between Claude models, then asks other Pro and free-tier users to share theirs. The poster uses Claude for personal projects: (a smart- tool), Unraid (a home-server ), and small that automate everyday tasks.
Their split is 70% Sonnet 4.6 on medium-to-high , 25% Opus 4.6 on medium-to-high effort, and the remaining 5% on the top-tier Fable model at high effort, mostly for fun. The point of the post is that discussion usually centers on Max- users with massive codebases, while Pro and free users — who get a much smaller usage allowance — rarely get to compare notes on which model to pick for which task and how to stretch limited tokens.
Key points
- The poster runs personal automation projects (, Unraid) and small on a Claude , not the pricier Max plan.
- Sonnet 4.6 at medium-to-high is their main model, used 70% of the time.
- Opus 4.6 at medium-to-high effort makes up 25% of usage.
- The remaining 5% goes to the top-tier Fable model at high effort, mostly used casually.
- The post asks Pro and free-tier users to share their own model choices and token-saving habits, since most public discussion skews toward Max-plan users.
