So, this is just my humble opinion, based purely on my personal usage without any hard evidence to back it up. I’d really like to hear other opinions or experiences. For complex tasks, Claude Code is excellent and extremely effective. Over time, I got used to using /clear to reduce context and avoid hallucinations when I need to execute multiple steps. I’ve seen many people suggest doing this, so I made it part of my workflow. However, I’m starting to wonder if I may have overdone it. I have the impression that using /clear causes a lot more tokens to be consumed in the following interaction, almost as if Claude Code has to start from scratch each time. This morning, I tried not using /clear , and I had the impression that I generated much more code than usual within the same 4-hour window. What do you think? Did I just discover something everyone already knew? Or was it just a coincidence? submitted by /u/Medium-Technology-79
