A Claude Pro subscriber of 4 months reports dramatically increased token consumption after a recent update: a task that used to cost 5% of his limit recently consumed over 40% for two minor changes. He says his workflow is unchanged — no third-party plugins, native claude.ai usage, and consistent context-management practices like exporting .md summaries to keep chats short. He's polling other users for similar experiences, hinting at a possible stealth limit tightening.
