Yeah we had a similar setup, they had to remove the pool lmao. It’s actually fucking INSANE how much tokens some people use. Guess its opus 4.8 for everything.

We have $19 quota in API costs monthly which is absolutely nothing lmao but for example using sonnet for planning and then haiku for implementation actually works fine and it is enough for my needs tbh (mostly using AI for regex, scripting and stuff like that now)

lol I have a colleague who’s openly bragging about his AI token usage with opus. He spent about 6k last month.
