Today I've tested Claude Code with small refactorings here and there in a medium sized project. I was surprised by the amount of token that every command was generating, even if the output was few lines updated for a bunch of files.
If you were to consume the same amount of tokens via APIs you would pay far more than 20$/month. Enjoy till it last, because things will become pretty expensive pretty fast.
Provide verbose answers, increases tokens. Demand is measured in tokens, so it looks like demand is sky rocketing. Valuation goes up.
I have noticed that GPT now gives me really long explanations for even the simplest questions. Thankfully there is a stop button.
