Finally burned my $10 credits in OpenRouter. Switched to MiniMax subscription ($20/m). Goal: Automate tax invoices collection for 14+ services. n8n → Stripe API works. Everything else? Manual login. Boring. So I tasked my bot Chiti to build it. No subagents this time. Just the bot coding. It built automation with: ✓ Stripe (API) ✓ Vercel ✓ OpenAI ✓ Supabase (browser automation) That's it. All credits gone. kimi-2.5 did the work. Stripe invoices? Done. Rest? Hit errors. Switched to MiniMax. Used minimax-2.5. Kept going. End of the day:Not fully working. Will retry tomorrow. Also: QMD updated. Qdrant in progress. Hoping for no rate limits this time. No context overload issues. Hoping my bot will be live 24/7. Let's see what happens.

@code_rams codex would one shot this with a lazy prompt.

@code_rams Try building it as a repeatable workflow with lobster github.com/openclaw/lobst… Your LLM can build this once. And run it with approvals many times, deterministically, with change tracking without relearning the workflow every time - this is a huge token saver b

@code_rams mine switches from Opus 4.5 to gtp mini and it feels like I'm talking with someone at the DMV.

@code_rams I finally caved to trying OpenRouter and now it's giving me authentication errors even though I have an account with an API and paid credits 🫠

@code_rams im a stupid chungus ive been using minimax via open router spending 5 dollars every 2 days lmao buying the minmax subscription rn LOL

@code_rams five named agents and $30 in burned credits to automate tax invoices. the future costs exactly as much as the present but with more error logs.

@code_rams Question: How do you have multiple bote at the same time? Is it all local and some cloud?

@code_rams I feel like if you're actually trying to create software right now you're most likely better off with Codex.

@code_rams akka stg coding subs use pannunga only Claude code is a pain with coding sub, all other orgs give nice API keys with it which can be integrated with OpenClaw comfy comfy
