Bug Description
The new plan mode is too verbose. It basically tries to implement everything in the plan file, and it keeps asking the same questions repeatedly. One conversation already used 42% of my 5-hour quota.
Please optimize it to be more concise and natural.

similar to https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12366 but I have mentioned that claude code is now making plans in
.claude/plansnow too. And the plan is very complex.我已收到您的邮件!会尽快予以回复!
Yeah I gave it one query, and it now it says it cost $1.50 for something that used to cost less than 40 cents. >0.40
same here. Sometimes I only want Claude Code to create a small plan for some medium tasks to guide the agent to the right direction. This new plan mode just burn all the token for planning and is so overkill for easy to medium tasks. Can we have an option to disable it?
This new plan mode is ineffective, over-complicated, and burns through tokens like no tomorrow.
My Claude Code just burned over 100k tokens on a single prompt within 5 seconds. It now only takes 5 seconds to destroy your entire 5-hour window.
I just asked the following question (which, before this update, would have been maybe a 1-5k token back-and-forth exchange):
And the result...
And now I have a useless, overcomplicated, and garbage plan that consumed my entire 5-hour window within an instant.
