After trimming his Claude Code harness, a Max 20x user now has 9 spare hours of quota a week

The author had his Claude Code harness (built on superpowers) reviewed to find what was eating context, then optimized it. Despite using it carelessly over the past week, output quality and quantity stayed on par with previous weeks.

He's on a Max 20x plan he used to nearly max out — even with the 50% boost. Now he has roughly 9 hours of quota left over and is spinning up multiple agents and Fable-only sessions just to use it.

Takeaway: context-efficient harness design can dramatically stretch a fixed subscription.
