3.5 Billion Tokens in Claude Code in January

Almost 3.5 billion tokens in Claude Code in January. I pushed it this month to explore what's possible now - and to be honest it's a bit addictive.

My $200 max plan got me $2664 in tokens at list price. Never got to more than 80% of my rate limit. This part is probably not sustainable, but I believe the tokens will get cheaper and / or the open weight models will get good enough for it not to be a concern when the subsidy goes away.

I still need to finish a more value oriented analysis of everything I landed this month (and some stuff I didn't) using a tool I rebuilt with some of these tokens, but I definitely don't want to go back.
