A Claude Code user reports that after a recent update, the "Sol/Extra High" speed setting burns tokens dramatically faster — and the previous standard-speed option has disappeared from the settings.
The user says a quota that used to last 5 hours was exhausted in just 15 minutes. If widespread, this represents a de facto change in usage terms that paying customers should watch closely.
