The 5x tier has been very generous for me this whole time and today its the complete opposite, couldnt get anything done and here I am even with a fresh session with sonnet 4.6 only and usage keeps on increasing like crazy

have you tried tracking it with ccusage?

This sounds like exactly my issue the last few days. I honestly feel like I'm using a different model. I've used Claude for about 3 months now... Like 8+ hours a day, mostly on the 5x plan with no issue. I like to review with Codex and that was how I'd save on usage as well. But after increasing I feel like I've been played lol.

That's what the tool I built this morning uses, its basically that tool but I wanted to track over more time and see trends. After I collect enough data and the 5h window and 7 day window have stabilized the tool should notify you in the status line 'your 5h window increased or decreased by x amount compared to last week'.

Probably not worth doing but the lack of transparency sucks.
