alt Hacker News"Built this after realizing I was spending ~$1400/week on Claude Code with almost no visibility into what was actually consuming tokens."
holy slop. the $200/month plan has NEVER hit rate limits for me and I often run 5+ tabs of concurrent agents in a large 300k LoC codebase

not $1,400 out of pocket, thats the API equivalent cost of the tokens. I am on the $200/month Max plan :D.
In my case I mostly consume every bit of the weekly subscription.
The $200/month plan throttles you when you hit limits - you just wait in a queue. API usage at $1400/week means unthrottled, parallel execution with no waiting. These are very different use cases, and for teams or heavy automation workflows the API cost can make sense if the time savings justify it.
