Because we pay retail consumer prices (subscriptions). Those same tokens cost many thousands on enterprise billing:/

What makes you say that the parent you’re replying to uses a consumer subscription? Sounds to me like he’s using it for work.

Because if this person was paying enterprise for tokens, they:

1. wouldn't write stuff like "I've only spent a few hundred dollars using gpt-5.5/5.6 and codex"

2. wouldn't think tokens are cheap

Not correct. I'm assuming it's an enterprise plan. I have no idea what deal my company has worked out with OpenAI but I do not yet have a personal account (but soon will when I have the time to spin up proxmox on my compute brick that's been gathering dust since last year).

Correct. This is not a consumer plan.
