Heavy user reports Claude Opus verbosity causing 1B monthly token burn
clduab11 · reddit · 2026-08-26
An AI consultant for law firms reported that Claude (likely Opus) has become significantly more verbose in recent months, clogging workflows with unnecessary text. This change caused their monthly token usage to spike from 750M to 1.1B, frequently maxing out their Claude Max x20 limits before the reset. The author is asking other users who migrated to Teams/Enterprise if they noticed similar behavior or limit differences.
