I need to vent for a second. I’m on the highest tier plan, and my token usage is completely out of control. It’s the second day of the week and I’m already over 50 percent of my usage. I’m not even doing anything crazy. Just normal workflows, some longer prompts, some back and forth refinement. Nothing extreme. The frustrating part is I don’t even know how to properly manage it. There’s no clear breakdown of what’s actually burning through tokens the fastest. Is it long threads? Is it file uploads? Is it image generations? It feels like everything just stacks up silently and suddenly you’re halfway through your allowance. If this is the top plan, what are people who rely on this for serious work supposed to do? Throttle usage midweek? Start new chats constantly? Keep prompts unnaturally short? I’m genuinely asking. How are you guys managing token control without feeling like you’re walking on eggshells? submitted by /u/Ambitious_Local5218
