$5,000 in AI Credits: A System Inventory In one month, spending roughly $5,000 on AI subscriptions and APIs (Claude Pro + Claude API + OpenAI API + Copilot Pro+ + Codex + Paseo + miscellaneous), I built out 18 major systems independently, with a total codebase of roughly 50,000+ lines of code (excluding auto-generated AI scripts). For comparison: the same functionality, developed from scratch by 2 full-stack engineers, would conservatively take 6-12 months and cost at least ¥300,000-600,000. ...

⚠️ Registration Threshold: Pionex doesn’t support KYC for mainland China ID cards. You’ll need a valid ID from Taiwan / Singapore / Malaysia / United States, etc. See Pionex Restricted Regions Official Notice. After running the Pionex grid bot for 4 months, the biggest pain point was no alert when price hits the range boundaries. When price breaks above or below your configured range, the bot stops automatically—but you won’t know when you need to step in (to reconfigure or pause). ...

How to Rescue Claude Code Sessions Stuck on Image Dimension Limits Recently I hit a confusing error in Claude Code: An image in the conversation exceeds the dimension limit for many-image requests (2000px). Start a new session with fewer images. The screenshot I’d just pasted was completely normal—just 100×200 pixels. By intuition, this should mean “the last image is oversized,” but it wasn’t. This is a cumulative bug with counterintuitive trigger conditions, root causes, and fixes. Once you hit it, you keep hitting it. This post explains the rules, the mechanics, and ready-to-use tooling to fix it. ...

GitHub Copilot (especially when used through the Claude Code + Copilot channel) has monthly request limits. OpenClaw supports multiple concurrent agents, making it easy to burn through your quota without realizing it. This article rounds up 8 practical tips to help you manage your usage more effectively and reduce waste. 1. Track Your Current Copilot Usage Method One: GitHub Settings Page ...

Claude Code got a quiet but important update in 2025: you can now plug in GitHub Copilot Pro+ as a backend. This means you can run Claude Code on a $19/month Copilot Pro+ subscription instead of paying separately for $20/month Claude Pro. But the two channels have stark differences—if you don’t understand them, you’ll hit gotchas. This article breaks down the key distinctions, plus the alias setup I’m using to make switching a one-command operation. ...

I’m currently paying $80/month to subscribe to two GitHub Copilot Pro+ accounts. That number seems steep at first, but after three months of use, I believe it’s the best ROI among all my AI subscriptions. This article breaks down the math so you can judge for yourself whether it’s worth it. What is Copilot Pro+? GitHub Copilot has three tiers: Tier Monthly cost Key difference Copilot Free Free Basic completions, 2000 completions/month Copilot Pro $10 Unlimited completions, GPT-4o model Copilot Pro+ $19 Unlimited completions + advanced model quota The key differences in Pro+: ...

Claude API costs can easily spiral out of control—stronger models cost more per call, and longer context costs more. This post shares my approach to cost control. Claude Model Pricing Comparison (2026) Model Input $/MTok Output $/MTok Use case claude-opus-4-6 $15 $75 Complex reasoning, code generation claude-sonnet-4-6 $3 $15 General tasks, writing claude-haiku-4-5 $0.8 $4 Simple classification, summarization MTok = million tokens. 1 token ≈ 0.75 English words ≈ 0.5 Chinese characters. ...

I’ve been using Claude Code—Anthropic’s CLI tool—to manage my fleet of servers since last year, and it’s genuinely changed how I work with infrastructure. This is what AI should be doing: not chatting, but actually getting things done. My setup 9 overseas VPS instances (AWS / DMIT / Tencent Cloud), distributed across the US, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore, running: Proxy nodes (Xray + Hysteria2) Quantitative trading strategies Monitoring stack (Prometheus + Grafana) Various automation scripts I used to SSH into each machine manually. Now I just tell Claude Code “update the Xray config on the Japan machine,” and it handles the SSH connection, modifies the config, restarts the service, and verifies it’s working. ...
