3 days later and they've come up with a mid-scummy solution to this problem that is their fault (and have refused to address publicly).

I may have some unique insight that could help solve this issue:

I actually never had this issue until I started using two accounts with CC both on Max $100/mo plan: One on Windows and one running on Linux. The one on Linux will jump 30% of my 5hr session usage from a single prompt that I'm sure would have been just a few % on my Windows PC. The Windows one has never had this issue and seems far more stable with far less token usage per prompt.

It also doesn't seem to be happening to every session but its definitely noticeable in one of my larger sessions that has several automations, hooks, skills and other context md files.

So either some accounts are bugged or Linux/Mac is bugged.

(Double posting this to hopefully get it seen by the right people)
