Thanks to everyone who shared session IDs. We went through all of them. We found a few smaller things along the way that made some sessions burn through tokens faster than they should have, and we're rolling out fixes to those right now.
We didn't find a single root cause or any regression in Claude Code. In most cases, users who saw faster usage against limits were traced back to one or two heavy sessions (xhigh effort, /goal, Workflows, Agent Teams, long SDK jobs). These are all good ways to use Claude Code, and it's on us to make it clearer when to use them and how much these features cost.
It's good idea to keep an eye on the effort level you're on. Subagents inherit it by default and it can add up fast. /usage also shows where a session's tokens went.
If something still looks off, we'd love your /feedback. We'll also follow up directly with everyone who shared an ID.
