How many tokens does an AI agent burn in a day
wes_ly · reddit · 2026-07-15
The thread is collecting data on everyone's agent token consumption. The author shares their own stats: Minimax m3 used 68 million tokens in a single day, accumulating 183 million tokens over three days.
The main point is that real-world AI agent token consumption can be far higher than expected, and the author wants to compare actual costs across different users and agents.
