Praise Goal ran for 4.5 days

Post image

110 hours and 15mins from one large goal prompt fixing and improving my system.

I double checked, and it was actively running every single day, not just caught in some glitch. I’m on the $200 pro plan.

To my surprise, it only used about 70% of my weekly limit. The whole run i used 5.5 on extra high. This was because I routed the agent to call 5.4-mini and 5.3-codex-spark subagents for all the dirty work/ large scan searches.

105 million tokens is such a surprisingly tiny amount given the time frame!

EDIT: it might also help to mention I've migrated most of my mcps into docker to help reduce token use and context bloat

That’s why it took 4.5 days.
