teortaxesTex shares the bill from having an AI agent fix a plugin for him: 12.3M tokens, 27 minutes, $0.14 total. The actual fix took only 20 minutes — the rest went into redoing videos with hair-splitting prompt tweaks like "slightly muted vs the 18.0 image, could use the t=12.5 old golden with deeper colors." A concrete data point on how cheap agentic coding work has become.
