You always have to ask which plan they're paying for. Sometimes people complain about the $20 per month plan...

There's no Opus quota on that plan at all.

In this case I'm replying to someone who lead with "I'm on the Max plan" but I realize now that's ambiguous, maybe they are on 5x while I'm on 20x.

That's insane. Are you accounting for caching? If not, there's no way this is going to last

I'm using ccusage to get the number, I think it just looks at your history and calculates based on tokens vs API pricing. So I think it wouldn't account for caching.

But I totally agree there's no way it lasts. I'm mostly only using this for side projects and I'm sitting there interacting with it, not YOLO'ing, I do sometimes have two sessions going at the same time but I'm not firing off swarms or anything crazy. Just have it set to Opus and I chat with it.

Claude Code definitely reports cached tokens, and I think CCusage does too, so it wouldn’t make sense for the calculation to be based on full pricing when they have the cached values.
