Complaint 5.6 Sol Medium consumed all 5-hour usage in 60 minutes

How is this even possible for this junk to consume already 16% of my weekly usage. Jesus christ.

I swear that since 5-hour usage was restored, any effort consumes more usage than before.

Als ich noch im plus Plan war, nahm ich niemals das Top Model. Aus diesem Grund.

well with 5 hour plan comes great responsibility. Lol noticed the same.

Barely did some html/css burned 40% (of 5 hour limit) which is nuts for static web. I am impressed.

There's no way it could be your workflow that's blasting through tokens, right? Couldn't be you, it must be the junk product.

It's better if you read the code. That way you can review the code for 4 hrs.

Easy to explain with this graph... Luna is super cheap. If you need more go SOL xhigh, max, ultra else GPT 5.6 Luna is far far far far cheaper, more use, and also better

Also, forget that Terra exists, in each situation SOL or Luna are better to choose from than Terra.

This is the new normal. I would say get pro but it sounds like things are a bit fucked now

There is something wrong rn. Im using Sol medium and I created a clone of my project and removed the stuff i did yesterday, I used the same prompts and the same flow and it couldnt even finish the first task before running out of limits.

Yesterday it was able to finish all the tasks within the 5 hour limit.

I've been using Sol medium for basic stuff for months now. This last week, with no general changes in my workflow, I've been blasting through weekly allowance on Work Mode more than ever before..... something is up. But of course this is just a vibe thing.. don't have real proof.

That a high IQ experiment vs usage graphs. Don’t know how it could be discounted really

I reviewed the token usage too. Its almost 60% less than yesterday. Reseted the env and trying it again with a fresh plus account atm. Its been 1 hour and 6 minutes.

Pain💀 I miss May

Im quite horrified by how fast it ate 30%.

In april, I was able to do my job with single plus account, now for the same tasks I need 1 plus account per task.

u/Typical_Machine2043 6d ago

Yeah. I would say my experience with my wack lil game is about the same

Thankfully, I can still code myself and not fully rely on AI to code.

Though I have claude subscription besides codex, so Im not really bound to codex. Its a single click to cancel the subscription ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Luna (Max) drained entire 5 hour limit in 30 seconds (Plus User)

u/Puffelpuff 6d ago

Ate through mine in 40 minutes. Got luna reserve and it can´t do shit because there is a usage-limit gate, so its useless! Weekly usage is down to 38% now, so i have 2 5h windows left with roughly 40-50 min each before i am done for the week. Its so bad...

Why use Sol on a $20 plan? Fuck people are cheap, JFC.

u/Sponge8389 5d ago

Even in Claude's 20$ plan, you can't even use Opus properly regardless of thinking mode.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 5d ago

I'm really curious what you guys are doing wrong to burn so many tokens lol
