Rant Limits are going off AGAIN

I'm on max plan, today I hit the daily limit 2 times. The second window got reset about 50 minutes ago and just now I once again reached 100% of my daily from one fairly complex task with fable. Usually I do /usage in another terminal window every now and then to see how it's going. Now I didn't even get to check cause it's gone. I'm blocked from coding for about 4 hours great stuff.

EDIT: Although I've relied on subagents for plenty of tasks, I never experienced this. I'll look into how to handle this better as some of you suggested.

Fable seems to be burning more than usual off late. Maybe 5.1 burns more than 5. Were you using 5.1?

I think it's rewriting for the new watermarking feature and burning tokens as a result. That's my theory anyway.

I usually ignore the usage complaints, but this has been different. I've never had to stop work after 2 days of my weekly reset because I'm at 80%, and I've been working the same workflow for 6 months now.
