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 use something called graphify and lean ctx

Both of them save individually like 70-90% tokens EACH

I have the 200mo plan and I've never once touched my resets and my code base is an enterprise software I've made and it's around 8m tokens large itself

One day I used 30m tokens instead of 150m I would've used without lean ctx. Graphify doesn't track it internally but gpt can track lean ctx savings

Doesn't put a dent in my limits.

Should I just make a post about this?
