It’s definitely easy with an API key I hit 200$ in an evening. I didn’t think that could be possible. Horrifying

To be clear, this is a lot of full-scale reading and (re)writing, without any rules, promots, "agents"/code to limit your resource usage, right?

Nobody's asking for $200 in single-line diffs in less than a day - right?

Right, this is having Claude Code just running as an agent doing a lot of stuff. Also tool use is a big context hog here.

It’s not about a single line diff but the same prompts with cursor does not end costing that much
