I'm working on some serious data analysis + realtime async code, and I use 200-400 million tokens a day with Claude Code alone (via ccusage). The complexity of the code seems to have a big impact on the number of tokens used. On simpler projects I use many fewer tokens.

My programming endurance is much greater now (2-3x focused hours per day), my productivity per hour is multiples higher, and I code seven days a week now because it's really exciting.

All told, I would pay for these tools as much as I would pay for full-time human programmer(s).
