the bottom line is that a.i is getting more and more expensive and they have excuses for that. just last week trae.ai reduced its plan credits from 400$ to 100$

I wonder what's the ceiling for these plans' prices. At some point, it becomes a non-negligible fraction of the salary for the employee, especially in non-US employment markets.

Cloud agents in Codex are quite poor solution compared to Claude Code, you are forced to use your own computer, which is not the desired setup for anyone with a standard laptop not suitable for doing lots of work in parallel. So I would still prefer to spend some dollars in Anthropic or even Cursor solutions, which work much better as cloud dev envs.
