My heaviest LLM usage month came in at $45. So far this July, $6 and counting (it's been a light month). I can certainly imagine increasing my usage by several orders of magnitude but ... why? If I have something that needs to get done and an LLM can do it, great. But I'm not sitting here inventing reasons to waste money, which is apparently what the tokenmaxers are doing - as evidenced by the astounding lack of value produced by all this vibe coding.

You’re not even trying to use AI if that’s all you spend. I am not a tokenmaxer and it’s easy to max out my 20$ subscription just hacking on a simple web game. Working in a larger enterprise context it’s impossible for me to use AI daily and not spend hundreds of dollars.
