The author complains about quickly exhausting their 20x quota due to continuous triggering by the new model and multiple subagents/workflows. Although productivity has noticeably improved and they really like Claude Code, they mention that the only realistic option right now is to open another account.
The core of the post is comparing the cost issues brought by subagents defaulting to a higher reasoning tier: they found some heavy subagents were over-triggered and have fixed some of them, but others don't need max reasoning and therefore should be cheaper.
