   I don't see how anyone can be using Claude with prices like this, it's pretty incredible what the OpenAI team is doing, w.r.t model quality and pricing.

     Prices per 1M tokens     Claude Opus 5.5    Claude Opus 5
      Cache reads              $0.20              $0.50
      Input tokens             $4                 $5
      Output tokens            $20                $25
      Cache writes             $5                 $6.25

      I could already run Sol High on 3 concurrent side projects 24/7 and not run out of quota.

      This is great, but practically, I'm not going to start working on more side projects.

      Perhaps in another 6-12 months I'll be fine to drop down to $20/m instead of $200.

         How much does it cost you per month to have that much sol high usage and what do you use, api? Through what? Thank you

            they said quota so i would imagine the $200 subscription. Probably through Codex or Pi coding agents.
