alt Hacker News> Reallocating $100/Month Claude Code Spend
The new gimped claude code limits means my claude code spend the last month is $131. It cost me $20. I did an additional spend $5 on extra usage which cost me $5.
While VC's are setting fire to money I am going to warm my hands.

I think it is worth noting that “what they charge for api access” != “marginal cost of inference”. So I don’t think getting i.e. $40 of api usage for $20 would be insane. $131 for $20 does probably mean somebody is losing money though.
You mean you were getting more than $130 per $20 before?
85% discount is actually a bit lower than I remember. I think it used to be closer to 90-95%. They're getting stingy ;)
