It was mentioned somewhere else on hn today, but why do I care about token usage? I prompt AI day and night for coding and other stuff via claude code max 200 and mistral; haven't had issues for many months now.

it’s a measure of efficiency. one might not care about tokens until vendors jack up the price and running your own comparable model is infeasible.
