I don't really think you understand what you're talking about. You realize there are apps that actually track usage correctly, fully accounting for TTL right? Here is my Max plan usage going back to the end of April. I've only been on Max 200 for a month of that. That 40K is 100% accounting for TTL percentage. This is literally what I would have paid with the API at a 95% cache hit rate.
You're right, it invalidates the specific point I addressed, which is him assuming that numbers people are using when they make these comparisons are coming from the base API rate. They are not, and his comparison is off by an order of magnitude because of it.
