I am using Opus 4.8 with 1M context and high effort. On a fresh start of Claude Code, my context usage is ❯ /context ⎿ Context Usage ⛁ ⛁ ⛁ ⛀ ⛀ ⛁ ⛀ ⛀ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ Opus 4.8 (1M context) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ claude-opus-4-8[1m] ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ 24.1k/1m tokens (2%) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ Estimated usage by category ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛁ System prompt: 3.9k tokens (0.4%) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛁ System tools: 12.9k tokens (1.3%) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛁ Custom agents: 1.2k tokens (0.1%) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛁ Memory files: 3.9k tokens (0.4%) ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛶ ⛀ ⛁ Skills: 2.3k tokens (0.2%) ⛁ Messages: 8 tokens (0.0%) ⛁ Compact buffer: 3k tokens (0.3%) ⛶ Free space: 972.9k (97.3%) Memory files · /memory ├ ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: 28 tokens ├ CLAUDE.md: 2.7k tokens └ ~/.claude/projects/-my-project/memory/MEMORY.md: 1.2k tokens Skills · /skills Project └ ~730 tokens Built-in ├ claude-api: ~360 tokens ├ update-config: ~240 tokens ├ deep-research: ~160 tokens ├ code-review: ~130 tokens ├ schedule: ~130 tokens ├ run: ~120 tokens ├ loop: ~110 tokens ├ verify: ~90 tokens ├ keybindings-help: ~80 tokens ├ fewer-permission-prompts: ~60 tokens ├ simplify: ~60 tokens ├ security-review: ~30 tokens ├ init: ~20 tokens └ review: < 20 tokens Is that wildly different from everyone else’s?

Maybe I could parallelize editing somehow? submitted by /u/Informal-Addendum435
