I mainly use it in a work context where it’s not my money I burn. I do have a private subscription that I’m going to use for a project. Do you have any tips how to try and do kind of what I describe, but in a more cost sensitive way?

Just burn the tokens. It’s an upfront cost that you pay once at the beginning of a project, or on a smaller scale at the beginning of a major feature.

For context, I’ve built about 15k loc since Christmas on the $20 plan, plus $18 of extra usage. Since this is a side project, I only hit the limits once or twice per week.
