[Bug] Excessive token/rate limit consumption without reading any files

Bug Description
Since 19:00 CC practically hasn't written a single line of code. He only made a commit. Then I asked him to analyze a simple bug, where I clearly specified what it was about. He churned for several minutes, burned through 4k tokens — which is next to nothing — and I'm already at 34% of the 5-hour limit.
Then I created new terminal session, new CC session, no files even read, it took 2% of context and 3% of 5h limit on 100$ plan. Something isn't right...
