> You should see my OpenAI bills from building Plandex :-/

Sorry if you have answered this before, but can you estimate how many man hours were saved using OpenAI or was the high usage more test related?

I have used Plandex a lot to help build Plandex faster, but yeah the high API costs are much more due to testing, where I need to run large tasks over and over in rapid succession in order to debug problems or iterate on the built-in prompts.
