i could have claude build intricate code and it uses like 10% of my 5-hour window allotment. then i'll ask it a random gay ass easy question just for context and it burns through 50% of my session for an answer that took it 5 seconds to generate. i understand this is all rule-based and so there is something about my prompt that is inherently expensive but it is so fucking gay.
I had to upgrade to the $200/month plan because of their fucked up session limits. After a session reset, the first prompt used literally 90% of the session limit, and then the second one went over the limit wtf.

that's probably where this is headed for me but respectfully this is nonresponsive. if i need to increase my plan i guess that's just how it goes but what i want is clarity as to why "doing real work" doesn't seem to cost much while asking a very brief two-second question that produces like a paragraph or two of text completely throttles my session.
