I don't subscribe to the $100 a month plan, I am paying API usage pricing. Accordingly I have learned how to be much more careful with Claude Code than I think other users are. The first day I used it, Claude got stuck in a loop trying to fix a problem using the same 2 incorrect solutions again and again and burnt through $30 of API credits before I realized things were very wrong and I stopped it.
Ever since then I've been getting away with $3-$5 of usage per day, and accomplishing a lot.
Anthropic needs to find a way to incentivize developers to better use Claude Code, because when it goes off the rails, it really goes off the rails.
