$10 within less than 10 message exchanges
In the thread “Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi”, replying to this comment
Got in the way: High cost via Portkey compared to direct Claude Code usage.
… I'd be curious to know the background around this. At work, I've used @anthropic/Opus 5.5 through Portkey with Pi, and ended up with $10 within less than 10 message exchanges, on a fairly trivial topic. OTOH, when using Claude Code directly with Opus 5.5, I basically spent $30 for a good back-and-forth across a full chat, reaching the point where CC kicked off compaction.
