I started running into the high usage issue like everyone else this week. I was getting 1 prompt using about 25% of my 5 hour window for a quick review of a spreadsheet and taking almost 30 mins to complete. I wasn’t having these issues last week but I realized I updated Claude over the weekend and again today. After downgrading Claude desktop to 1.1.5749 (March 9th build) the same file and prompt was costing 1k tokens instead of 30k. This older release seems to be giving better and much faster results. My usage seems good now and somewhat usable again on the Pro Plan. Can anyone else verify this? submitted by /u/Whokaers
