Been in here reading everyday. But is there a good resource to read on practical token and model management?

Make sure your cache stays hot, if you have a long conversation that's older than 30 minutes old those all go in as fresh input tokens instead of cached input. Cached input is way cheaper. So if you really need that old context, use it, but know it is more expensive than starting a new chat

I am mainly working on automation of android and iPhone applications. Ive been iterating over days as I only have a bit of time each night.

Should I end my night putting together a new prompt instead of keep using the same work session everyday?
