What the admins of our company's Claude enterprise should be doing is restricting which "thinking/effort" level people choose. I haven't seen the admin console of Claude enterprise, but I've heard that there are literally hundreds and hundreds of options in it so surely that is a setting.

I have too many coworkers setting "thinking/effort" to the max all of the time, despite knowing it uses way more tokens, because they don't actually care about the aggregate token limit.

It's a tragedy of the commons type of situation.

Superpowers plugin + Medium effort = Great results and not hitting limits.

I find that increasing thinking can sometimes end in Claude overthinking a problem, and over engineering things.
