How on Earth does one use 1.1B tokens in a week?
In 95% of cases it is because you had a large context for which the cache expired.
Yeah. I like the way Claude Design handles this: if you come back to a chat after the cache expires, the chat UI shows a message like "start a new chat to save 300k tokens" or whatever. It's pretty nice if you're working in multiple design sessions and are quota-constrained. Surprised they haven't brought the same UX to CC.
Suggests either starting from a summary, a new conversation, or keep going.
I just used Claude to write a plug-in which changed the bottom of the CLI to say: ( ) Usage: 34% (resets in 2h 47m) Context: 56% [Opus 4.6] auto mode on (shift+tab to cycle) That way if my usage starts shooting up, it's very easy to notice (and the color of "( )", which is a circle that I couldn't paste here, changes when it gets high, ensuring I don't miss it). I coupled that with a hook that watches for usage spiki…
Great idea on the hook alert.
I feel like the advent of LLMs has made a super customizable OS like Linux so, so much better than the closed source alternatives, and so much better than they were before.

This is actually a built-in Claude Code feature: `/statusline` will ask how you want it to look and set it up for you.
B) Warning everyone, it slowly eats tokens - If you're like me and on the pro plan, perhaps not a good idea to have its (albeit slow) drain on the tokens.
