Careful -- a solo dev using it professionally, meaning, coding with it as a pair coder (XP style), can easily spend $1500/week.

$1500 is 100 million output tokens, or 500 million input tokens for Claude 3.7.

The entire LOTR trilogy is ~.55 million tokens (1,200 pages, published).

If you are sending and receiving the text equivalent of several hundred copies of the LOTR trilogy every week, I don't think you are actually using AI for anything useful, or you are providing far too much context.
