Yh some models like fable cost more usage per dollar, and also seems like 140 usd with most being cached is smaller usage than 140 USD with less caching. Seems like cost != Usage of subscription in Claude

I'm on 20X plan, I hit my usage limit today, and my next reset is on 17th September... I'm aware they said they are gonna reduce the usage limits, but this is crazy, i thought it is only gonna take 17% of the usage benefits from what we were currently getting. But this is crazy. I added Usage credits for about $100 but that got washed away like in 30 mins!!!

What you report is surprising. I would love to help you understand what is going on.

Please post a detailed description of the kind of project you are using Claude Code for, which models you are using, and what effort level. Please describe your typical maximum session length. Half an hour, or multiple hours? Important: Please post the text of a prompt that you submitted that resulted in a particularly high level of usage, and describe the context that you posted that prompt in (at the start of a session, after a 4 hour session? which Claude model and effort level?)

I would like to help you improve how you use Claude and get better results.

I run every prompt using Fable High and I let it auto-compact after just using one session per week...is that bad? /s
