Power user burned 600M ChatGPT tokens in 1.5 weeks after 4 months to hit 1B

A user shared his ChatGPT usage stats: it took 4 months to hit his first 1B tokens, but he burned through another 600M in just the last 1.5 weeks — a steep acceleration in usage. He also complains that a Codex timeout broke an automation, ruining his usage streak. The post is a snapshot of how quickly heavy users' reliance on AI coding/agent workloads is scaling, and of timeout pain points under current plans.
