Not sure if I am the exception or breaking any record (I guess not) and definitely nothing to brag about, but I managed to accumulate this cost in about 3 days with my 2 max subscriptions

Pretty awesome!

Looks like I'm at $27,428.55... on just this computer.

I'll try to use more... enjoy the subsidized tokens while they last!
