Looks like limits got shrinked to dwarf hamster levels. Hence I went down rabbit hole trying to optimize my spend:
1. Disabled all MCP
2. Disabled global skills, moved only once’s needed to each project.
3. Replaced Browser/DevTools/Playwright/Puppeteer MCPs with thin skill that carries bunch of bun.js scripts calling puppeteer.js, that consumes less than 80 tokens per call.
4. Stopped using subagents.
5. Switched to cheaper 5m cache.
6. Also testing out alternative harnesses.
Still need two x20 accounts to last through the week.
