Peter Steinberger Says His Monthly Token Bill Hit $1.3M, Covered by OpenAI

一个月狂烧130万美元！龙虾之父自曝token账单，费用OpenAI全包

Peter Steinberger used 603 billion tokens across 7.6 million requests in 30 days, with the bill exceeding $1.3 million; he said disabling fast mode cut the price by 70%, and OpenAI does not charge him for the tokens.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the story has a sharp cost hook, concrete usage numbers, and strong practitioner resonance. It is a first-person bill disclosure, not an OpenAI pricing or product launch, so it sits just above the featured threshold.
