Bug Description
Experiencing unexpectedly high token usage since Friday April 11th. Simple script execution commands that previously used minimal tokens are now consuming 18% of session usage. Multiple team members experiencing the same issue simultaneously. Using medium effort setting (unchanged from before). Issue appears to correlate with recent system incidents around April 15-16. Request investigation into token calculation accuracy and background process consumption during this timeframe.
