Token Consumption Spike During Ultrathink Command Execution

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 20, 2025 by slyfox1186 Closed Jan 4, 2026

Bug Description
the ultrathink command causes claude to only show the tokens being used count rise way above noramal amount (think above 1200k and beyond!) so this is not right! it shows no output of any kind until it is fully done returning the full results of it's curent 'round' of changes before it gives control back to the user
