- 6 free open source repos that cut my Claude Code token costs by up to 90% My Claude Code spend was getting out of hand. The plans go up to $200/month and I kept burning through limits faster than I expected. So instead of just paying more, I went looking for ways to actually cut token use. Ended up with 6 free open source repos that moved the needle. → ccusage (15k stars).

Hello, I am making this post today to uncover a specific clause that will take place next month as most people don't read privacy.
