Claude is something like $35 per million tokens. If I was using API pricing I could trivially spend $100 in a single hour long coding session, with /fast turned on in about 10 minutes. Not sure how you guys are using it.

Opus is normally $5 per mtok, no idea why anyone would use /fast if they were at all concerned about price. ($5 is still pricy though tbh)

Opus is $5 per mtok of input tokens, but $25 for output.

Yes, but input is usually what people are talking about since that is the vast majority of token usage.

I wouldn't call input a vast majority of token usage. In my experience output is 25%-33% of the cost.
