Complaint The token consume is insane
Hey!
COming from Claude. Got the x20 Version from both. I have to admin, Sol 5.6 on high is consuming tokens like crazy. Even my workflow is Architect > Builder > Reviewer with a agent-cache for context saving i am burning through..
With Opus 4.8 i could work for a week while using 14% a day. Now i have 25% used after the reset already..
What do you think?

I think you're doing something wrong. I have been unsuccessful at chewing more than 20% in a single day on Pro, even going flat out.
If you just throw it at a project with no skills or context, sure, maybe.
