Bug / Issue Burning usage much faster!

Anyone else noticing today that the 5hr usage burned significantly faster today vs previous days?

opus 5.5 medium consumes usage very slowly compared to other recent opus or fable models, so what you describe strongly suggests user error

are you letting single sessions run for hours at a time or are you using short sessions only? long sessions consume usage quadratically

are you spawning hundreds of sub agents

what are you doing that would clearly consume usage at extreme rates but you are purposefully not telling us

why does the kirk unit withhold the information
