Been on Max for a while. Kept hitting my limit mid-task and assumed I was just doing too much. Turned out I wasn’t doing too much. My tools were just incredibly inefficient under the hood. Traced a single refactor task. One rename across a few files. Claude Code ran 161 turns to finish it. Every read, every grep, every edit is its own API call. Each one re-ingests everything before it as input tokens. By turn sixty you’re paying context cost on the entire session history. Once I understood that I started looking for ways to batch the calls. Found a Claude Code plugin that collapses search and read into one call and stacks all edits into one roundtrip. Same task finished in 52 turns. Didn’t change my plan. Didn’t change my model. Just changed how many roundtrips each task makes. submitted by /u/ChampionshipNo2815
