There's a real hobbyist vs professional distinction with Claude Code. For professionals, including when I use it at work, we're generally super happy to have Claude spawn as many subagents as possible and burn more tokens to get a better result. Hobbyist users on a $20/month plan, though, generally want more conservative behavior.

It's hard for Anthropic to cater to both sets of users with one model.

I don't think that's what this issue is talking about. I have the Max $200/mo plan and have noticed starting yesterday that my quota drains much much faster, to the point I'm about to use the $50 credit Anthropic gave away to everyone.

True enough. But to be clear, that's a separate issue from what users are reporting here.

Both hobbyists and professionals are understandably frustrated that tokens are being consumed quickly without justification, or at least in ways that seem entirely avoidable.
