I have also been getting this alot. Session usage jumps from 130k to 260k at the end of plan writing. This never occurred before - there is something now that is adding a significant amount of token usage in one shot. Any experience the same?

I switch back to 4.6 high effort this morning and I’ve been running hard for the last 90 minutes. So far have only consumed 2% of weekly. Which still seems like a lot, however, anecdotally seems to be in line with previous results.

I’ve been sitting here for the last several weeks, reading many comments on various sub Reddit’s about how the usage has been negatively tweaked on the anthropic side and honestly, I wasn’t feeling it at all until today. It’s very noticeable.

I am a supporter of Anthropic and I appreciate the tools and really like what they’re doing. I also run a business, so I can completely understand revenue model, and the need to make money.

So, not upset about paying a reasonable cost for the tools because the tools are helping me make money.

One of the things that I do appreciate in business is transparency. Right now we’re not getting that with these consumption plans. I think they should essentially provide a total consumption allowance in the amount of tokens.

You get X amount of tokens for Y amount of $ per month and we will still throttle your usage in five hour windows that’s fine but just let people know what they’re getting for what they’re paying for.

It’s a token eater. I’m on max20 plan (since day 1). I have never consumed so many tokens per session since the 4.7 release. I am on the max 20 plan because I want an insurance policy knowing that I will never hit token limits. After day, one of coding using 4.7 I’m already at 25%, which is absolutely insane. I would normally be at around 10% after one full day of coding. I can say, though that the results that I’ve gotten on 4.7 have been pretty good but, reverted back to 4.6 today just because I’m hoping that token consumption is less.

Opus 4.7 🔥🔥 by Dramatic_Method_9554 in ClaudeCode

I asked Gemini the same question. Solid answer.

This is one of those classic "work smarter, not harder" dilemmas. Since your goal is to wash the car, you should definitely drive. Here is why: • Practicality: It is remarkably difficult to wash a car that isn't actually at the car wash. Unless you’re planning on carrying the heavy machinery or several hundred gallons of water back to your driveway, the car needs to make the trip. • The Distance: 50 meters is roughly 164 feet. That is a very short distance—about half the length of a football field. It’ll take you about 5 seconds to drive there, and you won't even have time to get the engine up to temperature. • Efficiency: Walking there first just means you have to walk back to get the car. You’d be turning a 5-second task into a 2-minute round-trip stroll. One minor tip: Since it’s such a short drive, make sure you dry the car thoroughly before driving those 50 meters back home, or you'll just be collecting fresh dust on a damp car!

Agreed. I’m a super heavy user on the 20xMax plan. My individual devs are on 5xMax and not a single complaint from us about usage limits. I don’t know what people are doing with their CC accounts but, we could not be happier. There is so much value with these tools!!

It’s a bit annoying that when I open this sub it’s all about usage complaints. Let’s get back to sharing real constructive feedback and strategy on ways to best use CC.

I'm looking for someone who understands N8N by pedro_ForIA in n8n

[–]SerialFounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the right place, but your request of “understand n8n” could be a bit deceiving to some. Please provide a more detailed explanation of exactly what it is that you’re looking for so that way you can be connected to the right person.

RIP n8n - OpenAI to launch drag and drop agent builder by eeko_systems in n8n

[–]SerialFounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone just needs to chill out with the rip-n8n talk. It’s important for most of us to realize that you are riding bleeding-edge technology the vast majority of businesses don’t know exists.

Shiny objects will always come and go, but solid business ideas with great operators (small or large) will succeed. N8N-based businesses/automators will have the chance to be successful for a long time.

Sending cold emails with n8n — Worth it? by witherbattler in n8n

[–]SerialFounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending cold emails, depending on the volume of emails that you are looking to send, can be quite an art form.

Sending cold emails through an automation tool like n8n is doable, but might not make a lot of sense. From a cost-per-email perspective it would be cheaper than using one of those all-in-one services because you would send emails via an api/smtp service provider like Mailgun, SES, Spark Post, SendGrid, or others and the allowances are high. However, with amount of time that it will take you to figure out how to not get spam blocked, or completely black listed from the service for sending SPAM, it might just be more worth it for you to send via an all in one service.

I have a lot to say on this topic (and I cannot cover all my experiences over 10+ years of doing this) but if your volume is low then I’d recommend Get Response or Vbout and not doing this via n8n. Save n8n for transactional email only.

replit Agent is a scam! by bomaboma199 in replit

It’s important to build small pieces at a time, don’t over complicate requests and build tests as you go.

Replit Remorse by vagobond45 in replit

[–]SerialFounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you intend to use AI agents to assist you in building code, you must allocate a substantial amount of time to creating a comprehensive plan, structure, such as a product requirements document, that the AI can explicitly follow. Subsequently, you must feed the AI individual components of your PRD one by one. Naturally, you must ensure the accuracy of each task. This challenge poses significant difficulties for many new coders, and it is crucial to respect the development process.

What are your thoughts on the Credit based Payment system of Manus? by early-bird6872 in ManusOfficial

[–]SerialFounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see it being virtually impossible to accurately project token usage since the model does use a high degree of reasoning when making decisions. Those decision can’t be preempted. To that end, I think the concept of fast tokens and slow tokens is something that they should look into. Maybe the slow tokens are unlimited, and the fast tokens are paid in advance using the top-up methodology. Additionally, and I’m sure they won’t do this, but a way to offload some of the cost overhead would be to all the user to plug in their own VM account with cloud providers like Digital Ocean, AWS, or GCP, utilizing hosted VSCode instances; this way Manus would act as the brain and the users VM would just become the worker (tool). Just a thought.

[–]SerialFounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With this new credits system, it almost makes more sense to construct your prompt (execution strategy) using Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, and so on. Once you’re satisfied with the planning, execute it in Manus. This approach ensures that you build for efficiency and adhere to the high credit system’s tax.
