I’m coding an app using Claude (React Native + Expo). I can’t seem to understand how Claude uses tokens tbh. I have the Pro plan currently - and there have been times where I’ve used Claude for hours, and it’s written detailed code for me, and we’ve had continuous back and forth, and I’ve still not completed my 5 hour token limit. Other times, like today, I just asked it one question where it didn’t even need to review any code, and it’s somehow used 30% of my 5 hour tokens and 5% of my weekly tokens? Can someone please tell me me how to deal with this? How do I assess what prompts could potentially cause massive token usage like this, and prevent this from happening again? P.S. it’s not a model issue - I’ve only been using Sonnet 4.6, haven’t used Opus / any models with higher token usage. submitted by /u/Historical_Sky1668
