Ok this might be weird but I've moved everyone in my 4 person team to our team plan and costs seem to have sky rocketed compared to the individual plans. Where before most people spent 20-100 USD, now the total bill is more like 1k USD. I haven't gone into the details but it feels like I'm being scammed.

We moved off Cursor and onto Codex + Claude Code. Cost went from multiple thousand per engineer per month to about $500
Best deal currently:

Cursor team Codex team Claude team

Swap between the models when limited.

I am saving our company a lot of money vs Claude enterprise usage cost

I did some monitoring. 15 accounts, 300 millions tokens input, 200k output went to 0 the 5h quota in 7 hours. 4 parallel tasks.

I think 300 million is too low. For reference before I could do more than 1 billion on same conditions.

My company is shifting us from Cursor to Claude due to increased costs.
Check which model you're using.

The fast version of composer is the default now (which costs ~x3 as much).

Keep in mind I believe there is a larger buffer given to personal plans. If they have 50% extra with the personal plan you now only get 25%.
My cursor costs sky rocketed recently too
