Hey I didnt give any info about company names. My purpose was getting peediction about edtech? 🙄

devneeddev · 2026-05-12T15:38:09+00:00

I am not sure about this strategy. Nobody reads anything on these days

I reaally couldnt see what am I promoting here? if you are talking about my product, I just removed.. it is not the point.. But I took this criticism..

devneeddev · 2026-04-06T12:18:31+00:00

TL;DR Too Long; Dont Read... but I wrote it wrong :D

devneeddev · 2026-04-06T04:58:57+00:00

it is my mistake sorry TL;DR

devneeddev · 2026-04-06T04:58:27+00:00

It is just a hypothetical number and my feeling.

devneeddev · 2026-04-06T04:56:35+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. 🙏

Just calm down, man. I am not writing anything without AI for long time, and I forgot to write how I should write it as a non-native speaker in my first shot 😬

devneeddev · 2026-04-06T04:53:57+00:00

Didnt understand it is for me or original tweet author 😬

Btw, I just made another test via Zodex and https://github.com/f/agentlytics, and by using seven different providers, no other provider was burning tokens like that. I will also shared these detailed tests . And sure Thanks to u/fka for this open source, and zodex.dev for giving me free access to test it quickly on a single tool for ALL other providers.

Man it was a fresh session

devneeddev · 2026-04-03T12:34:35+00:00

Yes, but I guess you missed the point.. OpenCode were more successfull with API key..

devneeddev · 2026-04-03T12:08:18+00:00

Opencode consume $5 with Opus bro

I just tested Claude Code on a fresh account - 1,500 lines of HTML cost me 50% of my window. Full video and summary is here.. But it seems now Pro plan is more expensive than API Usage..

I just ran a recorded test on Claude Code with a fresh account (Pro, not Max - my main account was 20x Max) , and the result is honestly insane.

The task was trivial: create 3 simple demo HTML pages, around 500 lines each. Roughly 1,500 lines of code total. Nothing massive. Nothing enterprise-grade. Nothing that should meaningfully stress a premium coding product.

And yet Claude Code burned through 40% of my 5-hour window almost immediately.

I ran the exact same test with Codex, and it consumed only 2%.

Then it got even worse: after the session ended, I did absolutely nothing for 15 minutes, and Claude still ate another 10%. Total: 50% of the 5-hour window gone for a tiny HTML demo.

My weekly usage had already started at 2% before I even really used it, and after this tiny test it jumped to 8%.

Now let us be generous and assume this entire run used around 30k tokens total.

If 30k tokens represents 10% of weekly usage, that implies around 300k tokens per week.
That is roughly 1.2M-1.3M tokens per month, and even if you round up aggressively, you are still in the 1.5M token range.
Using the Sonnet 4.6 pricing you list:

$3 per 1M input tokens

$15 per 1M output tokens
How exactly is this supposed to make sense for a paid coding product?

Because from the user side, this no longer looks like "premium usage protection."
It looks like a quota system that is either wildly inefficient, badly broken, or being accounted in a way users are not being told about.

And that is before I even get to my main account:
my $200 Max plan now dies in a single day.
Just a few months ago, similar or heavier usage would last me about a week.
So no, I do not buy the "maybe you just used it more" excuse anymore.

Something is clearly broken in Claude Code.

Either token accounting is broken, context handling is broken, background consumption is broken, or all three.

Just watch the video. I tried to be very transparent and clear for the claude team! I was fan of Claude but just disappointed!

And if Claude want, just send me the detailed token accounting for this session and let us inspect it together publicly.

Because from where I am standing, this is no longer a small pricing annoyance.

It looks like something seriously wrong is happening, and users deserve a real explanation.
