> If you use 100% of the quota every week it's closer to $2000 at API rates.

I don't know where you got that from but the only time I maxed my $20 plan for a week I made the calculation that I had spend close to $200 in a single week. So maxing a $200 plan for a month should give you $8000 worth of token at API price. Obviously it's not $300k but it's still very far from the retail price.

$200 of usage on a $20/mo plan is a 10X multiplier.

The $200/month plan has 10X the usage of the $20/month plan.

So $200 * 10X = $2000/month. I don't know how you got to $8000.

Recent analysis by industry analysts like Semi Accurate have measured Sol 6.1 on the $200/month plan to be around $2000 of API equivalent use.

FYI there are 4 weeks in a month…

Sol isn't an Anthropic product though so maybe OpenAI is less generous than the former, I can't tell.

I get a LOT of mileage out of my $20 plan. It's at least $500+ a week at API rates. I sometimes wonder if there's something wrong with their billing system.

On the $200* consumer plan, according to "npx ccusage", I'm using $11,000 per month at API rates. Possibly significantly more, because I was previously using the $100 plan so that only reflects about 1 week of the $200 plan.

I was spending thousands of dollars a day in funny money (free promotional tokens from VCs) before switching to a paid subscription for convenience.
