A user reported that using Ultracode with the Fable 5.1 model spawned approximately 300 sub-agents for a large project, depleting 5 hours of compute quota in just over a minute and consuming 43% of the weekly allowance. The user expressed frustration at having to manually balance agent classes to control costs, suggesting it feels designed for token burning.
