I had installed Claude Code CLI to my Ubuntu system in mid-March, and version 2.1.81 was current at the time. I was extremely productive for the first week or so, and then suddenly it seemed like my tokens were getting ate up ridiculously fast. I upgraded from the $100/mo to the $200/mo plan, and that didn’t seem to make any difference. Yesterday I noted that I was now on version 2.1.92, and I had read others indicating that downgrading seemed to fix it for them, so I went back to 2.1.81, and now I’m sipping tokens. I was able to launch the CLI first thing in the morning, and instead of 7% of my plan being immediately gone, my usage for the window was still sitting at 0%. When I reverted, my weekly usage was 19% … and it is still at 19%. Granted I haven’t done a deep coding session today (yet), but I have had it do a few analyses on my project, so it hasn’t been 0 usage. YMMV, but downgrading might be worth a try. I’m interested to know if this helps anyone else. submitted by /u/HurricaneUtopia
