I have OC on a VPS. So far it's a way for me to play with non-Claude models and try to get them to get OC under control. So far I'm about $200 all in and OC is still not under control. Every few weeks it goes on an ACP bender and blows my credits in hidden sub-agents for no damn reason. I'm determined to break this horse though, it's like a fun video game with a glitchy end boss.

For how long have you been using it for it to have consumed $200? For me it sounds like a lot (still a student) but it doesn't seem to be the same for you

Two DO droplets (one for claw, one for code deploys because claw refuses to touch itself without exec approval) is about $60/month. Been running those for 6 weeks so only one billing cycle.

Then about $120 in API credits from Anthropic, xAI, openrouter, openAI, and Gemini ( $25 here and there adds up).

Best bang for my buck has been with xAI grok-4.20-beta

What do you use it for?

Deploying ideas as web apps to the other VPS
