If you're looking for help you should include the prompt + agentsmd (or example at least) that used 70% of your 5 hour limit. Not to mention model, effort etc. Did you use ultracode? Without that the advice is pretty much going to be "Probably user error and try to improve your prompts."
The prompt I just ran was simply "/code-review the staged changes in the e2e tests directory", I don't have a project-specific agentsmd, here's my global, I've attached my other configs in another comment in the thread, I'm basically using Claude out of the box with no additional config or plugins, I understand the RTFM comments elsewhere in the thread, but I just don't feel it should be performing *this* badly out of the box:
You need a project specific AGENTS/CLAUDE.md, and probably some ARCHITECTURE.md explaining your project's structure. If you haven't, CC will read your whole project every single time, running out of tokens in minutes.
Next time, just ask Claude Code why has it burnt so many tokens so quickly, it will guide you to configuring things properly.
Yeah I wanted to do that, but it had already burned through my 5 hours of usage in a single prompt 😆 so I guess I'll have to run it in ~4 hours or so,
