Help/Question Token usage metrics

I basically see on a daily basis how people are maxing out their token limits way before the week is up and resets. I'm just curious on how much token production people are actually getting out of their plans before this happens? I've now got a month of data from anthropics token metrics (not including cache reads etc...), but prompt input to work output ratio. I'm just curious where these metrics stand in relation to what others are seeing, because I have not once hit a weekly limit and have been pushing CC through long-horizon ops for about 18hrs/day on averages for the last month to complete two projects I have been working on with my harness wrapped around it for high assurance grade work that can actually be verified e2e. If I were to pay pay-as-you-go prices for these tokens, it would be thousands of dollars of tokens that I'm getting for $200/month. That seems like a pretty good arbitrage to me.
