I pay for my tokens for my own projects, at least when the ones Google seems willing to keep throwing at me for free don't cut it. I'd think that's not too uncommon, especially here where there's likely a high ratio of hobby coders (whether also professionals or otherwise).

I also pay but just the $20 plan and just for chats/lightweight personal site editing. I get unlimited token usage from my company.

In my company the average claude token usage is something like $5k/month/employee. Most hobby coders don't spend anywhere close to it.
