The token spend should really be seen against the output it created. I spent about 11k in tokens over a 40 day period (subsidized by the Max plan, of course -- I am not made of money), but the productivity in the period was insane. I was able to ship multiple fairly complex systems that are now working in production (document analysis system, resource management system, a complete re-architect of a healthcare system) plus loads and loads of experiements.
Looking at token spend in isolation is measuring productivity by lines of code.
