My daily token spend is down to around ¥30 now. I used to run the main model only on the official API. Lately I've moved to a relay and honestly it's kind of great: top up at ¥1 for $1 of credit, and ds-v4.1-flash is just 0.15x the price. On top of that, workbuddy, qoder, opencode, codex and the like all throw in free quotas plus some cheap low-tier models. I route those to subagents and the load gets spread across roughly 400M tokens.
