dots local agent tasks: why do different models burn quota at wildly different rates?
lxfater · x · 2026-09-30
Testing dots on local tasks, the author found inconsistent quota consumption: the same task barely moved the quota with one model over two hours, while another model drained it visibly. A circulating claim says third-party calls use separate quota not charged to the main account, but that doesn't explain both observations. The author suspects subagent involvement but hasn't verified, and is asking the community for the actual billing rules.
