So, I decided to switch over to So, I decided to switch over to usage-based billing. That ended up being usage-based billing. That ended up being usage-based billing. That ended up being a mistake because it spent $100. How a mistake because it spent $100. How a mistake because it spent $100. How long do you think it took to spend that long do you think it took to spend that long do you think it took to spend that $100? It was about 8 minutes, and I $100? It was about 8 minutes, and I $100? It was about 8 minutes, and I realized that my usage limits were much realized that my usage limits were much realized that my usage limits were much better than that with the sub. So, it's better than that with the sub. So, it's better than that with the sub. So, it's probably worth just getting another. So, probably worth just getting another. So, probably worth just getting another. So, I did. And then I maxed that sub out in I did. And then I maxed that sub out in I did. And then I maxed that sub out in another 2 hours. To be clear, only the another 2 hours. To be clear, only the another 2 hours. To be clear, only the 5-hour limit, the session limit. But, 5-hour limit, the session limit. But, 5-hour limit, the session limit. But, god damn, the fact that I could in one god damn, the fact that I could in one god damn, the fact that I could in one run with one workflow, with one prompt, run with one workflow, with one prompt, run with one workflow, with one prompt, max out two subs, and then have to go to max out two subs, and then have to go to max out two subs, and then have to go to bed without the task being done because bed without the task being done because bed without the task being done because I didn't want to spend a thousand I didn't want to spend a thousand I didn't want to spend a thousand additional dollars on it.

Summary
The speaker discusses the unexpected high cost and rapid depletion of usage-based billing for a tech service, contrasting it with the limits of subscription plans. They highlight how quickly session limits were reached, leading to unfinished tasks and the decision to revert to subscription models. The practical takeaway is that predicting and managing costs with usage-based billing can be challenging, and subscription models offer more predictable limits.
