I would not use this if you are on a subscription. In <8min it burned my entire 5hr window (which has just reset it appears, I have over 4 hours till it resets) I hadn't used CC at all today aside from this) and then it used up ~$15 more in usage before I could stop it.

I am on the $100 Max plan.

View on HN

they have a graph with cost comparison between the models. This model is just a little over the other models as cost. The graph is logarithmic :)

I'm also on the $100 max plan. I let Fable rip on a complicated issue involving hot-reloading modules in a GUI app built with Racket, it's fixed a couple issues over the last hour, and I've used about 17% of my session (not weekly) limit.

That’s odd, I used it on a pretty complex refactoring task and it worked for 22 mins and used only 15% of my 5-hour limit. I’m on the $200 Max plan though.

Well the $200 Max plan is 4x the usage quotas of the $100 so it's "within reason"?

The CLI when you select it says it has 2x the usage as opus. Not sure if that matches what you are seeing.

I do wonder if you switched models mid-session, you would have lost all your cache. Reloading the context into cache can really eat through your usage.

I too am on the $100 plan and I second this.

I had it analyze a project I was working on with Opus 4.8, and it blew through 23% of my session limit in one go. Does not portend well for my budget.

Yes, and this is also why I haven’t yet tried the new “dynamic workflows” which spawn hundreds of agents that happily eat through your token limits.

What is your effort level?

They didn't even reset credits for this lol
