I have them and ran about 10 packs so far with no problem. The 4s I run is 149amp 7400mAh single and I just ordered another. I am new however and didn’t take this into consideration.

I’m sure it’s fine. I mean esc is rated for 150amp and I’ve been bashing the crap out of it with 4s 149amp, no problems.
Battery ratings are kind of silly... Even the new SMC "True Amps" ratings. Read what SMC says - that is not the most amps it can output, just what it can do CONSTANT for the whole Mah of the pack without overheating... And we don't run 150a or even 100a constant in our cars. Bursts of about 1/2 second, then maybe yes, but that amp rating is not for burst. They don't list that, so you have to fall back to the C-rating on the pack.
Most people get about 20minutes out of a 5000mah pack in our rigs. The math says that averages out to about 15 amps, constant. (5 mah - 5 Amp/Hours i.e. the battery can run 5 amps for one hour when drained it's rated capacity. so 20 minutes is .33% of an hour, so 15ams average.)
The whole "True Amps" / constant amp thing is more for the quad guys - they pull big amps, with occasional bursts of really big amps - there is no coasting in quad flying, at least not for very long. Coasting = free fall.
