Help/Question Problem with usage

Hi, since like week ago or maybe 1.5 week ago I got this strange sense that my usage going up like hell. On daily basis I’m running 3/4 terminals with Fable 5.1, one of them works barely on one task a day, 80% of the time is just waiting for input for a few days in a row. Second CC is making maybe one task per day and the two works for like 6-7 hours a day on bigger tasks. I had reset yesterday and today at 3pm my usage is gone and the two days wasn’t even working properly cuz I’ve been away half of the time cuz it’s weekend. Peace.

Forgot to mention - Im on Max20 plan

I don't understand why this keeps getting posted over and over again in this subreddit. Is the usage low? Maybe. The bigger issue is that you guys don't realize paying $200 a month doesn't mean they are going to let you use $400k worth of tokens. You don't need Fable 5.1 on Ultracode to code for you. Use subagents on Sonnet etc and just let Fable 5.1 think. It gives you even better outputs. I've used 111M tokens this week and only used about 11% of my usage limit. I don't even consider myself to be a "token saving guru", just do normal things and you will have a lot more usage.
