How much do you really spend for AI to code? Some companies offer specific limit, some companies offer unlimited usage, some companies doesnt. What category do you fall under and how much do you spend on AI? The subscription plan, additional usage, etc etc.
claude code, cursor, codex, opencode, copilot, etc.

Just a minimum, and this has allowed me to optimize my way of programming to the maximum, I have written an entire operating system ("https://github.com/olmox001/NexsOS1") and I am continuing to maintain it practically only with Claude's $20 plan and Codex and Antigravity's free plans, if I had more to invest I would certainly be able to do better, But I find super subscriptions excessive, there are local inference configurations that allow with that cost to run sufficiently powerful models with huge contexts (Antirez/DS4 is an example).

About 20 subscriptions mixed (~$5000 a month), around 100K$ (equivalent) in token a month for me. 24/7 running. Everything is automatic, very little human input needed.
