Out of curiosity, how many tokens are people using? I checked my openrouter activity - I used about 550 million tokens in the last month, 320M with Gemini and 240M with Opus. This cost me $600 in the past 30 days. $200 on Gemini, $400 on Opus.

  My Claude Code usage stats after ~3 months of heavy use:

    Favorite model: Opus 4.6          Total tokens: 42.6m
    Sessions: 420                     Longest session: 10d 2h 13m
    Active days: 53/95                Longest streak: 16 days
    Most active day: Feb 9            Current streak: 4 days

    ~158x more tokens than Moby-Dick
