Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 14, 2026 by Arnaud-Altenburger Closed Apr 14, 2026

Bug Description
I just ask 3 questions this morning without using any plugin/mcp or whatever. The question was only using the current context to answer. it uses almost 40% of my max (100$) subscription of Claude. Can you tell me why ?
