do you have any data you can share on how many input and output tokens were used in that whole process to fix that bug?

    Thanks for the response. That is too expensive for me right now but I appreciate you sharing.

    I hope long term people will figure out how to make such fixes cheaper.

      I didn't have to pay $12 myself - I'm paying $100/month for a subscription which gives me more like ~$1,000/month of credits, depending on how well I space them out.

      This is also a very real outlier. I've been doing little CSS fixes with coding agents for over a year now and most of them finish in seconds and cost in the order of single digit cents.

    Was the fix worth $12 to you?

      I'd have been pretty annoyed if I'd been paying full price, hadn't paid attention and that one prompt (screenshot plus a line of text) had cost me $12!

      On the discounted subscription I can tolerate it, it took a small bite out of my daily allowance but not enough that I regret anything.

      As an LLM researcher I have no regrets at all because watching it work around the environmental restrictions was fascinating.
