Invest a bit of your time into optimising usage cost. Anthropic has first class docs, actually read it or ask llm to read them all for you and summarise most important points / ask to to reflect it on your .md files. Maybe silly thing like dropping your default thinking effort by one level or adding (sub)agent pinned to other model is all there it to completely fix it or maybe you have instructions that encourage big dumps in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md that needs splitting so progressive disclosure works correctly? Naively sending everything to the most expensive model on high thinking effort is anti pattern and will drain quota quickly.

My personal guess is that it's one of those. With effective context engineering it's hard to use all 20x quota, the limit becomes your own attention and time really.

You may argue that you're doing multiple, parallel extreme effort tasks – which may be true but then again, there will be results to actually look at sooner or later and that takes time.
