clauditor: Open Source Tool to Stop Claude Code from Burning API Quota
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-11
During long interactions, Claude Code re-sends the entire conversation history every turn, causing token usage to scale linearly (e.g., a 200-turn session sends 200k tokens per turn). This can easily deplete API quotas in 20 minutes.
The open-source tool clauditor tackles this pain point. It monitors session size in real-time and blocks requests when quota is being wasted, automatically starting a fresh session while preserving context and progress to avoid redundant compute costs.
