It's the literal software development gacha, habit forming, timed intermittent reward schedules and all. Making insane progress on my side projects though.

If I have too much usage I'll simply find something for the AI to do. Guided router update. Router hardening. Laptop hardening. Penetration test my router now that I somehow got into the cyber program. Local models research. PC build research. Smartphone research. Financial investments research. Business research. Medical research. Laptop firmware reverse engineering. Old video game reverse engineering. Pick a random open source project and let's explore the code base. Analyze all of my ten thousand HN posts and tell me interesting facts.

If I can't think of anything I default to picking a random git repository and launching a massive parallel code review session. That's guaranteed to kill any remaining usage in exchange for useful output. Then I can go enjoy my weekend guilt free. Unless they reset the usage.
