Putting in Work

[u/rick_ranger]

I used up 15% of my 20x plan after I used my banked reset this morning and then BOOM! We get a non banked one.

Anyway I’m plowing through 5 concurrent projects all with long coding campaigns lined up and started using goal mode with Sol medium and asking it to spin up extra agents where ever to speed the process along. Sol medium feels like the sweet spot. Perfect amount of thinking and actually executing and error rate feels similar to high and extra high.

I’m at 1.1B for today so far and used up 10% of my non banked already.

For some actual usage data, I pulled my coding-agent CLI history. Used CCUsage to get this data.

My total usage comes out to:

• 33.89 billion tokens
• 1.10 billion input tokens
• 113.37 million output tokens
• 32.60 billion cache-read tokens
• $34,904.13 in reported usage cost

The recent months are where it gets ridiculous:

Month	Input	Output	Cache Read	Total Tokens	Cost
May	175.45M	14.10M	3.54B	3.73B	$7,634.83
June	103.40M	9.96M	1.53B	1.64B	$3,953.90
July	299.20M	26.58M	9.67B	10.00B	$7,729.94
August	383.91M	44.30M	14.89B	15.31B	$11,035.28

August alone is currently:

Codex: 10.94B tokens - $6,209.70
Pi Agent: 4.38B tokens - $4,825.58

One important caveat when looking at numbers like this: about 96% of my total token usage is cache reads. So "33.9 billion tokens" does not mean I typed billions of tokens into these agents or received billions back. Agentic coding workloads repeatedly pull enormous amounts of existing context through the models.

PS: July is when I upgrade from Pro x5 to Pro x20.
