Anthropic Promised 75% Cheaper Cache Reads, Users Report Claude 5.1 Burns Quota Faster

Anthropic claims cache reads on 5.1 cost 75% less than on 5, making typical workloads 25% cheaper and agentic ones up to 45% cheaper. But a Reddit user reports the opposite in practice: 5.1 seems to burn through usage quota faster than 5, and is asking whether others actually see the advertised savings.
