Ask HN: What's your monthly personal AI budget?

A Hacker News user asks about monthly personal AI budgets, with one respondent noting they pay $20 for Anthropic's plan but are considering upgrading to $100, while another cancelled their top-tier Anthropic subscription in May due to concerns about the AI bubble and company behavior, using their employer-provided AI subscription minimally to avoid usage charges.

I'm still on the $20 Anthropic plan but I really should move to the $100 plan. I guess I haven't been using Claude Cowork/Code as much in my personal subscription (on the Enterprise plan for work though)

I use to pay for Anthropic top tier plan but I cancelled it in May. Until there is some reckoning with what this bubble is doing and how these companies are behaving, I'm staying out personally. My job provides AI subscription but I use it as little as possible because I don't want to contribute to usage charges.
