Dev burns $4k/day in tokens for $4k/month via 15 Codex + 5 Claude subs
zeeg · x · 2026-09-05
A developer flexed that his "software factory" consumes 7.3B tokens per day — roughly $4k/day at API rates — while paying only $4k/month in subscriptions (15 Codex, 5 Claude). Quote-tweeting, @roncohen pushed back: bragging about consumption without mentioning output is like celebrating burning 100 gallons of diesel, and this is clearly unintended use of subscriptions — if it spreads, vendors will inevitably clamp down.
