Hi everyone, I know Anthropic has mentioned updating the 5-hour usage window, but today I just decided to use the Claude Code desktop app instead of the CLI just because I was running multiple sessions and I was also experimenting with conductor.build. Now in the Claude Code desktop app I’m working on my largest codebase and running 8 sessions in parallel but my usage has been tiny compared to using conductor.build. It also feels like the usage is a lot less compared to the Claude Code CLI. I’m genuinely a bit stunned. I’m using the exact same workflows skills in both. The Conductor app is running off a different company account compared to the Claude desktop one (personal account) and the conductor.build session that had only 6 parallel worktrees on a much smaller codebase, it burned through usage in under 2 hours. I’m an hour and 15 into my main project codebase and I’ve only used 10% of usage. I do wonder if the Claude Code desktop app is a bit more optimised for token usage than any of the others. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. submitted by /u/Jomuz86
