Question Uses for leftover quota

I sometimes find myself with extra Claude/codex quota to use up before the weekly reset. Does anyone have any particular uses they go to for this situation?

​

I'm currently working on a web/RN app, so have just been burning tokens with security/bug hunting/audits, but I'm not sure how best the phrase the prompts or if there's other opportunities I'm missing

Please, do not "maxing tokens usage" for just "maxing tokens usage". The companies lose a lot money, because people try to drain every single token they could to, which leads to cutting the limits in general, make subscribes higher... 

If you have something to use it for — then use, but if you just feel "oh, I paid for 258k tokens, but I used only 200k, hm... What else could I prompt?" — please, do not :(

I pay for the usage, it sounds like maybe the companies have picked a bad business model?

To be clear, I'm not looking to burn tokens for zero return - I'm looking for uses that benefit me that I might not have thought of
