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
