I'm looking to set up my Opus-4 for an uninterrupted 7-hour coding session. There are so many options available, like Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and different pricing models such as 'bring-your-own-key' and SaaS. I've heard about the new MAX plan too. Can anyone recommend the best combination of pricing model and app to achieve a full 7-hour coding streak? I was considering using the MAX plan with Claude Code, but I'm worried about the usage limits since that's quite a jump. Any insights would be appreciated!

To pull off a 7-hour session, you might want to start with a solid task list. It seems like using Claude Code in "--dangerously-skip-permissions" mode could work, but I've only read about it from the best practices on Anthropic's site. You'll likely need the MAX 20x plan to avoid hitting limits too quickly, though it’s definitely the priciest option.
I'm curious, why exactly do you need it to code nonstop for 7 hours? What kind of projects need that much continuous coding? I'd love to understand the use case better!
Just a heads-up, the coding capabilities won't stretch to coding for a straight 7 hours. It's better suited to handle tasks that would take a human that long instead!
You're probably going to need to map out an extensive markdown plan to make this happen. That'll keep everything organized and ensure you have enough tasks lined up.
Actually, I've heard it can code for 7 hours if it's set to agentic mode!
