Original Reddit post

My previous way of putting a cap on my AI bill was by using the claude pro subscription-based model. Now that Anthropic is handing out account bans for people doing that, how are people keeping costs under control? Right now I’m running one of Open Router’s free models. I imagine if/when I’m forced to pay up I use one of the deepseek models. My openclaw doesn’t really do much for now. I’d like it to be able to code one day but I’m still working on it. Right now the cheap model isn’t obvious but I imagine once I get it into coding it will be. Would love to hear what other people out there are doing. submitted by /u/empty-alt
