I'm using the biggest plan, yet sometimes Claude randomly burns through a huge portion of the weekly limit. The limit had just reset, and I found myself with 9% usage within 10 minutes. During the previous week, I had used Ultracode and agent swarms with no such jumps in usage. Does enabling Fable 5 use such a noticeably larger amount of tokens? Has anyone else noticed this on their end?

#2Yeah I've seen like 30 percent of the session window is used up in an instant turning on fable. Fable itself is also like 2x the tokens. So yes, I turned it off.

#4Yes, I also noticed having a lot of MCPs enabled and a big CLAUDE.md will do this. I've also had wonky things happen with out of date claude, so I keep it up to date, especially using Fable.
