Haiku 5.5 token usage balloons past 100k in agentic workflows, dev reports
ceramgcf · reddit · 2026-10-08
A developer reports on Reddit that despite Claude Haiku 5.5's attractive new pricing and capabilities on paper versus Luna 6, they have been unable to keep token usage under 100k in any agentic use case — even simple, fast tasks hit the 100k–200k range. They're asking the community whether this is widespread or if there's a trick to taming it.
