Claude Pro user hits 370K-token sessions, asks if his token usage is abnormal
-EKHO · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Claude Pro subscriber using it for non-coding projects (playlist sorting, video editing assistant, book design) reports sessions reaching 370K tokens, with cache reads consuming most of the quota — 78% of the weekly limit already used.
His workflow involves prompting via ChatGPT first, phased execution, and session switching, yet tokens still drain fast. He asks whether his usage is abnormal and what rules or tools exist to conserve tokens.
