Hey all, I usually see lot of posts and comments where folks are able to consume all their tokens in Max and Max above plans. I’ve been using Claude code for few months and the closest I came was using around 50% of my tokens and then the window reset. Honestly I am paying $100 I do really want to know how to fully use what I am paying for, or at least know if I am using it properly and not missing out on some advanced feature which I can use. Here is my workflow: We have 3 backend service projects, two frontend (mobile and web) and one admin dashboard for various admin tasks. I’ve create a root folder and added a CLAUDE.md there. This CLAUDE.md has some basic instructions around commit and brevity etc. Then it also has a section where it has short description and link to CLAUDE.md of all the projects. In each project I’ve created their own claude file with context specific to that project. When starting work I run /grill-me from root with detailed description. It takes around 45 mins to 1 hour of questioning, back and forth, exploration etc to reach a good plan of execution. Once the plan is ready I mostly let it run in auto-mode where it finishes coding in 10-15 mins. Forgot about this: I have downloaded the schemas of our dependencies and added them in JSON format in various folders alongside my projects. So claude can find out the call, response schema without guessing. On a good day I am able to repeat my workflow around 3 times in 5 hour window. /grill-me takes around 6-10% of my tokens and then 5-8% for implementation. Then I manually inspect the code and run tests. Each workflow run costs me around 15-20% of my tokens and on a good day (happened once I think) I crossed 50% of my token limit. But then it got reset. This might be a beginner flow as I very recently starting using claude, but I really want to learn how to use it better to actually use it to its full potential?
