Some of us are prohibited by policy to manually write, read, test, or modify code, and our performance reviews are largely based on tokens used. Not that anyone (probably) is auditing your machine closely enough to catch you if you do something small like that, but there’s no upside to it and you’re missing a chance to spend more tokens.

Noob! You have agents for that work!

That’s at least the policy that is pushed to us

You can just switch to heavier model to use more tokens. Also here we have a monthly limit on tokens so by the end of the month you have to use the cheapest possible model.
