> fixing issues is now basically free if your company is willing to shell out for tokens.

Yeah, about that: I looked into Cursor's usage stats and daily I'm going through the equivalent of a bacon sandwich in my cantina, so not much, but this is at today's prices and very light usage of Sonnet.

I was for a time using Opus 4.6 for a heavier task and even then I think the cost was well into the double digit percentages of my salary.

Opus 4.7 reportedly uses more tokens overall and while they reportedly kept rates stable, that is not a given.

Just wait until, with increasing costs, the first company figures that they'll offer this as a benefit and then maybe scrap it altogether in the name of cost cutting.
