I think we could eventually get to a point where $1000/m+ consumption would be considered a bargain.

I currently pay ~$150/m in tokens to cover my 1099 work. If I had to pay $1000 for those same tokens each month, I would still be massively positive on my margins. I bill customers based upon # of completed features & bugs, not total time spent at the computer. Tokens would have to more than 10x in cost before I would start to have a problem on my end.

How are you billing clients when using AI? Do you pass on costs or do you multiply time saved by your hourly rate and bill that?
