Before subscribing to Claude, I put $15 into my account so I could use it from Cline in VS Code. After less than a few hours I was out of money. This was basically just to get a simple project setup and a few 1000~ line (AI generated) code files edited. I have heard Cline is less ideal with token management but regardless, these services can easily cost us hundreds or thousands of dollars a month billed on usage. ($15x4hoursx2 for a work day = $30, $30x25 = $750). And that is assuming my very light usage here could even apply to a larger code base. My guess would be if I hooked it up to an enterprise project it'd skyrocket easily to $60+/day.
