Anyone planning to make a profit by billing this as metered is dreaming when agents suck down 40k tokens in a single prompt. I did the math, at like 0.2 cents a token that would still be 8k. No one is paying 8k for a single prompt. At 0.015, thats still 600 dollars. Its never going to make sense.
Yeah I guess I did twenty cents, I realized this earlier when I paid for shipping at work. 80 dollars is still a lot for a single session. I think I’ve easily seen 100k+ sessions too, but Idk how many of those were just people burning tokens.
Edit: two cents is 0.02, 800 dollars. Just quadruple checked.

You might want to recheck your math.
.2 cents is $0.002
40000 * .002 = $80
Two cents is $0.02.
Yes, and?

80 bucks for a session could be a lot, but if it saves you 4 hours of work, I’d say it’s worth it.
OTOH, I’ve seen some articles claim that using AI tools actually slows you down. In that case, it’s a giant boondoggle.
