Power user burns 700M-1.8B tokens daily on Codex, says $200 plan no longer enough
kimmonismus · x · 2026-11-07
AI power user kimmonismus shared his Codex usage: 700 million to 1.8 billion tokens per day on average, with a screenshot showing 1.4B tokens consumed on Nov 4 alone. He says the $200/month plan is no longer sufficient and he'll likely upgrade to the $500 tier.
He reflects on how thoroughly AI has transformed his work and life, while noting most people remain outside this bubble: 95% of ChatGPT users are on the free tier, only 5% pay, and hardcore users like him are a tiny fraction of that.
