How does this not use up tokens incredibly fast though? I have a Pro subscription and bang up against the limits pretty regularly.

I don't know, all I can say is with API-based billing, doing multi-thousand like refactors that would take days to do costs like $4. In terms of value : effort, it's incredible.
It _does_ use up tokens incredibly fast, which is probably why Anthropic is developing this feature. This is mostly for corporations using the API, not individuals on a plan.
I'd love to see a breakdown of the token consumption of inaccurate/errored/unused task branches for claude code and codex. It seems like a great revenue source for the model providers.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They do have an incentive to not get everything right on the first try, as long as they don't over do it... I also feel like that they try to get more token usage by asking unnecesary follow up questions that the user may say yes to etc.
It does use tokens faster, yes.
