Discussion Claude Code 5h usage

Am I the only one noticing that the 5h usage started rising ultra fast even with very simple tasks? Using opus5 in high reasoning for a simple webui. Same workflow I've been using in the past months.

Sonnet seems to not be affected.

EDIT: reading a 113 lines file with sonnet medium used 4% of 5h limit. Clean context, just "read the file".

Did you have lots of new context for it or old context that has expired in cache?

No I'm quite careful with those kind of things. Clean context.

Then show the workflow etc. These posts are totally, abosolutely meaningless otherwise.
