genuine question. i’m running multiple agents and somehow every proper build session ends up using like 50k–150k tokens. which is insane. i’m on claude max and watching the usage like it’s a fuel gauge on empty. feels like: i paste context, agents talk to each other, boom, token apocalypse. i reset threads, try to trim prompts, but still feels expensive. are you guys structuring things differently? smaller contexts? fewer agents? or is this just the cost of building properly with ai right now? submitted by /u/Historical-Ebb-4745
