I honestly don’t think I could blow through a 20x plan in a day if I was trying. What are you doing that uses so many tokens?

I’ve built a similar thing against Snowflake, with one added layer: tenant-scoped views with the ID baked in, and an associated tenant-scoped role that only has read access to its own views. It also lets you make updates to the underlying
