14 Days, 4 Billion Tokens: A $200 Ultra Bill Is More Honest Than a Leaderboard

A user posted usage for the $200 Ultra subscription: 4 billion tokens in 14 days. Another statistic in the image uses a different measurement window: 4.7 billion total tokens from October 1 to 30, with $0.08 of credit used; on October 25, Grok Bot used 528,386,845 tokens in a single day. For a subscription plan, this level of consumption feels like plenty of quota.

The second screenshot shows account lin06415 (Linzi) with cumulative tokens of 25.01 billion, a token usage peak of 1.67 billion, longest task 12 hours 28 minutes, longest streak 41 days, and current streak 41 days. At the bottom, token activity by day, week, and cumulative total shows changes from November to October. Giving this amount of quota for $200 a month is not stingy.

But the user's conclusion is not to keep pushing. He says he has already switched over from Codex; next month, if OpenAI has no new developments, he will cancel the subscription. In the past he went all the way from Pro 200 down to 100 and then to Plus, with nothing but disappointment. Having enough quota and being satisfied with the product are two different things. The bill can prove how much was used; model leaderboards can prove who is better at publicity; retention depends on whether there is something new in the next round.

In the replies, Lucky Star 🌟 said: 'Four billion in fourteen days—the bill is more convincing than the model leaderboard.' That's accurate. Usage screenshots are harder to fake than benchmark charts and are closer to real workflows. The bill also has limits: it can only show consumption, not intent to migrate. Someone can max out the quota and then leave directly in the next billing cycle. Model leaderboards can be gamed; bills are less likely to put on a show.
