I don't think a $100 session is "typical". I use GPT for months. $20/m plus plan is enough for my daily work.

I use an observability tool with claude code [1] that shows me usage including prompt and session cost. Even though I use a max subscription, it's interesting to see what it would cost me if I was using API directly.
My typical session ranges from $100-$400 - higher end when using workflows with lots of subagents. $100/session is expected when using the API without the subsidized subscription pricing. Most larger orgs have to use API pricing AFAIK.

There are Business and Enterprise plans, both have discounting.
It's really interesting what "normal" is for folks. I use the $200/month Anthropic subscription and use it within a few percentages of my limit every week.
I'd blow through $20/month plan in hours.
Shorter sessions more often doing a /clear etc. save a shit ton of tokens. I pay 100 bucks a month but barely use 30% of it most weeks.
I have Claude max plan and the vscode claude dashboard plugin has logged about $4k worth of tokens in the past 2 months. I upgraded because I was using my weekly basic plan tokens in like 5 hours.
Likewise, I don't understand how anyone survives on the basic plans. It's funny seeing these two camps not understanding what the other is doing :)
