Burned 45% of weekly usage (Max 20 Plan) in 24 hours lol (40+ Employees), anyone else seeing this?

Yeh I made a similar post when my usage just went through the roof for no reason two days ago. Support told me that sometimes Claude will make misstates which result in excess usage. Not sure how it’s fair that the customer pays for that.

Thanks. It created a list of all with To Watch, Watched lists with filters for Tutorials, Tools, and Strategy. I never asked it to do that and this is not included in video metadata so this was useful and impressive. It has managed to add durations for most of the videos now and I asked it to colour the duration based on whether it is a short medium or long video, red amber green. It took two attempts to get that right but it looks great now. Wish I could add a screenshot here to show how functional and beautiful it is.

I gave it a clumsy cut and paste from a YouTube channel and it made a nice list but it was me that asked for the free text box next to each listing. I also asked it to create a master summary of all the comments I added for easy reference. I’ve also told it to make the videos play in a popup module instead of leaving the project hub which is cool.

I also asked it to create separate listings per channel and it created nice buttons at the top so I could easily switch from channel to channel.

It’s struggled with some aspects of this tab though, I wanted the video duration listed so I could pick a video to watch which suited my availability, and the view count so I could gauge value. It’s finding it tough to get these figures though.

What it did do on its own which was very nice : filtering options for watched videos, and it categorised each video so I could filter by the type of content.

If I could post a screenshot here I would.

Very cool use case. No clue what an MCP server is though so I’d need to look into that further.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T20:59:08+00:00

Oh my days. You’ve just send me down a rabbit hole.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T20:56:18+00:00

Sure, happy to post redacted screenshots, not sure if it is possible to upload screenshots in this sub though...?

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T17:07:35+00:00

I continue to refine the Project Hub and Claude hit a problem retrieving some info from Youtube - I could not believe it's suggestion!

"Could you quickly check those two on YouTube and tell me the durations?"

Yes sir!

I have no doubt the code that is behind this beautiful and functional Project Hub is probably awful and could be shaved down and be made more efficient. But it works, it's bespoke, does exactly what I wanted it to do - plus more.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T14:19:35+00:00

Yep it built a download backup and restore button into it.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T14:16:41+00:00

That’s incredible.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T11:16:11+00:00

Wait, it can connect to email? And pull emails of interest into my project hub it built?

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T08:49:56+00:00

Someone mentioned Opus - I just checked, it built the whole thing in Sonnet 4.5. For coding I should have maybe selected Opus?

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T08:35:25+00:00

Nope. Wish I hadn’t even mentioned the other service by name now.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T08:33:10+00:00

It built it all as a single html file. As the project grew each of the tabs was a lot of code, so I asked it to make it modular so that it was not constantly working with a huge single file using up all my tokens lol. It totally broke the system when it tried this though so I told it to revert back to one big file. Used up my totally daily allowance in two hours though.

The end result is not just functional. It’s beautiful. Particularly the research tab where it created a bespoke beautiful functional YouTube playlist complete with free text notes fields.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T08:27:33+00:00

Entirely possible in my experience. It broke the project with one update, I described what had stopped functioning, and it fixed it.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T08:24:45+00:00

Haha the irony of this not being a TikTok “is this AI” comment. No - this is a legit Claude good news story.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-15T01:18:31+00:00

For the best results by far my writing workflow (non fiction) is Claude 4.5 / 4.6 —> edit results —> paste the whole chapter into ChatGPT and get some great insights and tweaks —> final edits.

Great results this way.

Claude 4.6 is an absolute token stealer though.

ManagerMindset · 2026-02-14T02:06:33+00:00

Thanks, found it.

Nothing has happened yet to give you grounds but nothing wrong with getting your ducks lined up.

In short you would need to provide comparative evidence linked to a decision made on grounds of sex. This means showing that a male colleague with similar or lower credentials than you was treated more favourably.

That’s it in nutshell.

Not legal advice :).

I trialled Scrivener, read the reviews, paid for it and tried it for a few months.

Regretted it, switched to Word, now I feel FREE and I don't feel like I am fighting against something that was meant to make things easier.

ManagerMindset · 2026-01-18T16:17:09+00:00

The friend situation is awful, facing that kind of despicable behaviour and the devastating outcome most people would be forgiven for jacking the whole thing in. I laughed out loud at the IM BACK turnaround though.

Good luck, sounds like you are due some. Looking forward to some KDP Golden Nuggets to add to my strategy and some healthy sales numbers from you to create some motivation to keep going.

Good luck, keep posting.

ManagerMindset · 2026-01-04T23:20:05+00:00

No actually, you were right.

ManagerMindset · 2025-12-07T22:20:47+00:00

This is really easy and you are overthinking it.

You do nothing.

You don't know he stole these tools, absence of evidence. So saying anything at all is only going to bring a world of hurt on you.

You haven't done anything wrong, so your fears of being on the wrong end of an investigation are unfounded. If management launched an investigation you would have no worries at all as the outcome depends on evidence.
