My experience is I waste more using inferior models. Company pays for it anywYs

well that certainly changes the calculation.

I'm getting a hell of a lot done on just a little $20/m account. At that scale economizing on model choice seems to help. The latest model always seems to burn token crazy fast and rarely is the task big enough to justify it.

I'm also on the $100/month plan at home but at this level I'm nowhere near close to running out yet. But at 20 I could see it

Seen some tests on reddit that basically showed sonnet5.5 to be a wash. Half the cost but took twice as many tokens (and twice as long) as opus5.5. Probably depends on the complexity of the task, but if it's simple Haiku5.5 is probably better anyway. It's apparently super cheap under 100k context and you can tell claude to cap it there.
Also, lots of GPT resets this month while they try and distract from limit nerfing fyi.

I've been using my company's paid copilot to create qol tools for my job. Just me tho.

I'm very tempted to try vibecoding a game in Godot or something. Not to make money... Rather make a game I'd personally love to play.

I'm doing this with two games using unity and Claude. It's addictive
