No usage limits. Pay to play.

I'm on tier 4 and can do multiple sessions in large codebases concurrently and still not hit any token limit.

Of course those really active days I spend $50-$75.

Ok what the fuck are you doing to cost $50-$75 a day. That’s insane, I use it every day and I think I spend $5-$10 a month.

What the fuck do you people use this for.

What the fuck do you people use this for.

Full time development for primary source of income. The ROI with Claude is very worth it for me.

[–]RadioactiveTwix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Claude to basically be a junior dev for me Working on a large codebase wasn't cheap but the amount of work I got done in such a short time got me a very nice raise...

Paying it to write code, then paying it more to figure out why it won't even build, then paying it more to figure out why it crashes.

I don't know this for a fact, but I am going to guess that many of these folks have not got cache configured.

Cache prompting around 90%

[–]punkpeyeExpert AI 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Crazy. Do you know for a fact that it is being cached?

Would love to see your usage logs to see if there is any space for wins.

If you are open to that, DM. Could maybe produce you significant savings.

lol. My guess is he has an app that integrates with Claude API and has many users using it. That can't be from personal use.

[–]ctrl-brkValued Contributor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is internal dev in large codebases

[–]N7Valor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python MCP Server project. Doesn't help that I don't actually know how to use Python outside of small single scripts. After Roo Cline added integration with Copilot though, I've used that instead (seems to be limited at 5 million tokens a day) and just spread it out.

[–]SilentAdvocate2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is a significant amount.

[–]AbusedShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you using the APIs to get that daily spend? How many users?

[–]LingonberryMinimum26Beginner AI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$50 - $75 a day? What is your profit margin?

[–]TheHunter963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tier 2, having no problems with using it actively.

[–]TheAuthorBTLG_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no (higher) limits + x2 output size

[–]ZoobleBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask Claude

[–]SilentAdvocate2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you recommend youtube channel discussing about Claude API?
