You're Using Claude Code's Pro Plan Wrong

Deploy Next.js to Hostinger with Claude (step-by-step guide): https://www.aiunleashed.dev/guides/deploy-nextjs-hostinger Most developers on the Claude Code Pro Plan hit their usage limits way sooner than they need to — not because the plan is too small, but because they're using it wrong. In this video, I break down the exact settings, workflows, and tools I use to stretch the $20 Pro Plan so far I barely notice when I downgrade from Max. You'll learn the Anthropic Advisor strategy that uses Sonnet for most work and only escalates to Opus when needed, how to use Opus Plan mode to front-load the expensive thinking before coding starts, why most MCP servers and skills are quietly eating your context window, and the shadcn trick that eliminates the UI-tweaking loops that burn through tokens faster than anything else. If you're on the Claude Code Pro Plan and constantly hitting limits, this is the video I wish I had six months ago. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — Why you probably don't need the Max Plan 00:22 — The Anthropic Advisor strategy (Sonnet + Opus) 01:41 — Opus Plan mode: the other half of the strategy 02:43 — Why MCP servers and skills are costing you tokens 03:21 — How to audit a skill before installing it 04:09 — The shadcn trick that stops UI-tweaking loops 05:38 — Deploying to production with Hostinger VPS 05:53 — Writing a token-efficient CLAUDE.md file 07:29 — The Caveman skill (cut response length by 75%) 07:57 — When to downgrade from Max to Pro 🔗 Resources shadcn: https://ui.shadcn.com 🏷️ Topics covered Claude Code Pro Plan, Claude Code tips, Anthropic Claude, Claude Opus vs Sonnet, Claude Code advisor mode, Claude Code plan mode, CLAUDE.md optimization, Claude Code MCP servers, Claude Code skills, shadcn Claude Code, Claude Code token usage, Claude Code Max Plan vs Pro Plan, AI coding tools, Claude Code tutorial
