A user shared their Claude Code usage dashboard: a single session racked up $655.57 in API-equivalent cost (98% Opus, 99% cache hit rate, 222.3M cache-read tokens, +42,334 lines of code), while consuming only 5% of the session limit and 37% of the weekly limit, with $152 of $250 cloud session credits left. The author argues no tech product offers this much value per dollar.
