I was using my max plan like every one else.
i started using API last night to get my openclaw straightened out. I put my agents on sonnnet while I tested some agent specific cheaper API models. My agents repackaged exactly 1 short from long form video, posted it on accounts. I was very sensitive to not doing anything that was token wasteful. Although getting openclaw config straightened out took a bit of time.
In less than 12 hours, which included me sleeping and no cron jobs, I spent $25 of my "credits" from anthropic. that puts me at $30 a day or 900 a month.
So that didn't exactly work out. Im testing the gemni flash and will likely test that GLM model. If that doesn't work, i guess I try the OpenAI 200 plan.
