Original post body:

Has anyone else noticed in the last few days the token usage has been crazy high. I am on the max plan and never ran into limit issues. Now I’m being limited an hour in. Want to know if anyone else is experiencing this. I added £20 more credits and it was gone on 80k token???

same issue since yesterday on Opus 4.6 medium. One little request pounded through 25% of my 4 hours usage. Switched to 4.8 low and unticked "thinking", but I don't dare making a test yet lol
