hi, first dont charge credits, it is too expensive.
thats normal, you have to follow some tips to save on tokens, like plan with higher models, save the md file plan, and then use lower model to implement.

there are also some more tips to save costs.

what are you building? how you are using claude?

Thank Hasan, basically built & building, and its all started because of you only.
Complete Build History (Extremely Short)
✅ BUILT:

C4 (Claude Code Command Center)

Phases 1-6 complete: local ops system, Kanban board, autonomous execution, safety gates, cost tracking, schedule job (team reply auto-checks)
80/80 tests passing
Live daemon on Cyber PC + Surface Pro

Live Products

allMasajid: mosque discovery, real prospects engaged
ThePT.ai: pricing model live ($149/mo), Gap #1 (customer-domain routing) built/tested locally
agent-hub: P0 closed, cron live on Contabo
wa-outreach, autopilot, tts2, URM, repo-audit-lab, Flyers4u: active
🔨 WORKING ON NOW:

Phase 6.1: C4 API Bridge

a) Email notifications (nodemailer → Yahoo SMTP) — starting NOW
b) Slack integration (next after email)
c) Google Drive integration (after Slack)
📋 NEXT:

Hermes 24x7 Agent (Phase 7/8)

Multi-project coordinator
Smart digest to phone
Mobile guidance/overrides

Then:

ThePT.ai Gap #1 → prod (awaiting go-ahead)
allMasajid Maghrib DB fix (P2)
Hermes Phase 1 MVP (aggregation + routing)

TL;DR: C4 core done. Building notification plumbing (6.1). Then Hermes wrapper to coordinate across all 5 projects from your phone.

you want to consider using opencode - way cheaper and gives the same value and some of the agents are free to use. At some point i built a whole app with a free agent and tested it with claude to save credits and it works well till today. https://work.besthomesupport.uk/
