Heavy user: two days of near-constant Opus 5.5 use burned only 10% of weekly quota

A developer reports that after two days of multi-hour daily use of Opus 5.5 at high reasoning effort, only 10% of the weekly usage allowance was consumed.

He notes the only measurable drain came from a single task run on Fable 5.1 high — Opus 5.5 barely moved the meter, and his usage reset is still untouched.

This is individual anecdote rather than official data, and actual consumption varies with task complexity and plan tier, but it offers a useful data point on how generous current high-end model quotas feel in practice.
