AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

@kimmonismus says his Codex use averages about 700 million to 1.8 billion tokens per day, that the $200 subscription is no longer enough, and that he will likely move to the $500 tier. He contrasts hardcore paid users with the claim that about 95% of people still use free ChatGPT. Why it matters: Heavy agent...

Developers and businesses that rely on coding agents may face higher costs as heavy agent workflows push usage into more expensive paid tiers. Users on the $200 plan who run large token volumes may need to compare the $500 option. Watch whether other power users report similar limits and whether coding tool pricing changes.

Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
