$20.00 via Deepseek's api (Yes China, can have my code idc), has lasted me almost a year. Its slow, but better quality output than any of the independently hosted Deepseek models (ime). I don't really use agents or anything tho.

Agreed, I'm still trying to use up my first $5 on Deepseek. The best thing is the off-peak rate is during the US work day and is only 55 cents per million tokens. Great for use with agents cuz you never have to worry about cost or throttling.

Everyone complains about the prices of other models but there are much cheaper alternatives out there and DS is no slouch either.
