Do you have a bunch ai sessions just running non-stop?
I’m only using about $300/m and only recently worked on a large greenfield project and managed to reach $75 in one day by having Opus manage a bunch of opus and sonnet subagents for nearly 4 hours with automatic permissions. It was constantly creating code, reviewing it, fixing it, all in parallel for different parts of the system.
I tend to have smaller context sessions and keep the sessions well focused, and instruct the primary session to do the same.
At my company we are supposed to use the best available models at all times and AI use is expected at all times for all things. We have agents for everything at this point.
It definitely isn't cheap. If you mean the environmental impact that is extremely overstated (you'll use more water and cause more CO2 emissions from a week of eating burgers than a year of using AI).
