Has anyone else noticed Claude Code sessions eating through token limits significantly faster recently? Same workflows, same types of tasks, but I’m hitting limits in roughly half the time I used to. Even shorter sessions that never used to be a problem are draining quickly now. Curious what might be driving this: Has something changed in how context is managed or what gets included per exchange? Are tool outputs, file contents, or system prompts taking up more of the budget than before? Is there something accumulating in the session that compounds token usage over time? Has anyone found good strategies for managing this — like how often you start fresh sessions, whether /compact actually helps, etc.? submitted by /u/IsThi5Now
