@kupsas101 yes, thanks!

Stupid me with Cursor...

I subscribed to the $20 plan last week, and when Opus 4.8 came out, I wanted to give it a try.

I got used to create a plan with Composer and build with Opus.

I was working on a new feature, and after few iterations I had a solid plan.
Then I clicked Build... boom, API limit reached.
I had already used all my quota without realizing it.

At that point, my brain apparently stopped working (or maybe I was just tired)

Instead of switching back to Composer to generate the code, I went into the settings and enabled on-demand spending to be able to continue with Opus (first mistake)

I was thinking it would probably cost $1 or $2 max (second mistake)

The build finished.
I checked the usage.
$18.50

Almost the price of my entire monthly subscription for implementing a feature with 8 to-dos 🤦‍♂️

Lesson learned

@ImNotAV1rus @shipordie_ @marclou @jackfriks keep going bro!

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@kupsas101 that makes sense, I was thinking Opus would be better at implementing it

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@Yakobeen1 @X Yes! Almost finished revamping my SaaS about growing on X through genuine relationships, not just metrics. How about you?

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@igorfomich Sure!

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@marclou Ok just saw your reply to another comment

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@marclou I agree on free plan, but what do you think about free trial period?

[Jeremie @JeremieWorks]

@SoraiaDev It's history of life, many try, few are chosen. It's just that now, with social media, we are way more exposed than ever
