opus 4.5-4.6 costs of about 250 per day

had requests vary between 5 cents and 45.74 per call...

Hand to God, truly not that many calls per day. Just constant steering.

I essentially gave them my lunch money hand over fist.

opus performance was fantastic.

Though the cost confusion with cursor pricing and well known upcharge is why I'm intending to churn next month to go direct to source with Claude code... without the middle man.

compose 1.5 might keep me from churning now that I'm across the finish line on the project. But 1500usd could have given me Claude code for the year.

Frankly they could be making sh*t up with the cost per call... "Nobody is going to know."
