User says Opus 5.5 shows no token savings, hits 5-hour limit in 3-4 messages

- A Reddit user with 3 months of Claude experience says Opus 5.5 was marketed as far more token-efficient, but he can't perceive a difference
- He now hits the 5-hour usage limit after just 3-4 heavy messages, which never happened on the supposedly worse Opus 5
- He sees no 40% token reduction, notes the model feels worse days after release (a familiar pattern), and asks if others see the same
