My 7-day stats from the codeburn tool: $2,123.26 cost, 11,370 calls, 333 sessions, 96.7% cache hit. Breakdown: 4.5M in, 18.1M out, 2,084.9M cached, 66.6M written.
I spent $2,000 in tokens on my $200/month subscription in just one week. This also excludes heavy usage of Cowork and Claude Design.
Claude estimated that the same usage on DeepSeek Pro API would cost me $200 for the week. A month averages 4 weeks, so I can estimate that Claude is 4x cheaper than DeepSeek for me.
Because my highest usage day with over 30,000,000 tokens was about $0.50.
Even at your numbers you get like $20 usage a week MAX. Actually it’s less but I can’t be arsed to do the math. 18,000,000 input tokens x $0.87 per million, is like $16. I don’t really understand the metrics that your program is producing.
But your numbers seem odd. I get much more input than output tokens, and almost all of them are cached. You having way more output tokens is either a non-agentic coding use case, or a harness issue.
