I've been using ClaudeMind with direct API access for a while, and today I'm shocked by the prices. Simple prompts that used to cost just a few pennies are now hitting 50 cents each. Just yesterday, I could work half the day for about $10, but now I've racked up $10 in just the first 20 minutes! Even basic prompts are making my costs soar. Has anyone else experienced this? It feels almost unusable with these new prices—I've been using version 3.7 sonnet 20250219 without any issues until now.

Half a cent per prompt? That’s a steal! Seems like quite the opposite of what you’re experiencing, huh?
I'm testing out Claude Code now, and it’s pretty interesting! The terminal interface is a bit of a hassle, but honestly, it's way better for debugging than ClaudeMind. I'm curious if it differs from the MCP server, though.
I've been there before! Sometimes, all it takes is to completely close your IDE and even restart your machine. I had a similar issue where an error was causing massive token usage. You can check your usage at console.anthropic.com. By the way, if you're still on ClaudeMind, you might want to give Claude Code a shot; I’ve switched and it feels way more powerful!
What do you mean by 'agent'? Are you referring to a specific feature or tool?
Yeah, I'm curious too! Are there key differences between Claude Code and something like JetBrains MCP?
