Claude by Anthropicp/claudeJamie

How are you keeping Claude Code token spend visible while you build?

I like Claude Code a lot, but one thing still feels weirdly opaque to me: token burn while you are deep in a session.

When I am iterating fast, the bill usually shows up after the fact. By then I already made the expensive choices. Long context, repeated retries, and bouncing between models can get surprisingly costly before you really notice it.

Is changing your pricing a mistake… or just part of the process?

At the beginning, we tried to define pricing early. Plans, tiers, limits: everything looked clear. But once we started getting real users, things changed. Feedback came in. Some features were used more than expected. Others not at all. Sometimes it felt like the first pricing we defined was just a "starting point", not the final one.

From your experience:

Did you change your pricing after launching?

And how important was the first pricing you defined for launch?
