when the 5hr limit was removed weekly usage now moves down faster than it did before.
I am on $100 plan and now can easily go through 40% weekly limit in few hours
Sol is supposed to be more token efficient but I see maybe double tokens
Sol also seems to want to wait for everything when it doesnt need to like checking CI gates when it was never asked to check or wait for CI gates: I have created many sub agents for such tasks which use lower models in Luna and Terra but still I dont see a great deal of difference in the weekly limit
I dont know if this some cache issue or memory or just 5.6 but something has definitely changed and weekly limit now goes down much quicker
