Helped: Using Sonnet for everything instead of higher-tier models.
My work pays for Claude and cursor. I have actually just dropped to using sonnet for everything, sure it does need some directing but I have yet to see a need to jump to opus. To me it feels like sonnet/terra and composer 2.5 and grok 4.7 are actually good enough for most tasks and these companies are pushing the high models simply to make money.
