I used ~$11,000 worth of Codex tokens since October 2025 on the $20 plan
I’ve been using Codex a lot since October 2025, mostly for actual coding work: refactors, debugging, tests, UI fixes, docs, etc.
Based on official API pricing, my local tracker estimates around $11k worth of token usage, while I’m only paying for the $20/month plan.
Now Copilot is shutting down some subscriptions / moving more toward usage-based billing, and quotas seem easier to hit across AI coding tools.
So is the party over ?
