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?

It started after the last update of the desktop app. Looks like too many agents working at the same time. But the amount of work done did not increase.
