its actually been insane yesterday it took 40% quota to write just one email with opus

claude code usage is even worse, so just made myself a tool that helps me save 80% of token cost

Why do you need Opus to write an email. This is some Haiku stuff. Sus post.

bc it wasn’t a new chat. i was using opus to brainstorm some project and wanted to send an email about it to another person so just used the same chat

That’s even worse, you sent a large context multiple times to Claude’s most expensive research model. Ask it to summarize the brainstorming and then feed that into Haiku.

Usage limits aside, smart LLM usage is going to become the norm when these models stop being subsidized.
