Claude AI user racks up $120K in API costs with massive token usage

A user shared their extensive usage of Anthropic's Claude AI, which resulted in an estimated cost of over $120,000 for API tokens over 69 days. The analysis, performed by Claude itself, revealed that the user's sessions were extremely monolithic, with some sessions containing over 16,000 turns.
