The core of this post is a practical reminder: don't ignore the hidden costs of automated tasks. The author notes that these automations might seem "free" since you aren't manually triggering them, but they could consume 10%–15% of your total usage while providing minimal value.
The quote also offers another usage tip: if you hit usage limits, consider lowering the reasoning effort. It mentions that different tiers don't map perfectly one-to-one, and in some scenarios, the default lower tier might be sufficient without always needing to max out.
