[Bug] Feedback loops cause excessive token consumption with unresponsive background jobs

Happen esp. on Fable. ultracode is most effected, as it may spawn dozen of workers that can exhaust a 5h limit on a Max 5x plan within minutes, and worst: the jobs don't produce a response making it so claude wants to retry rather than change its wasteful approach.

Yet also on effort max, I don't see twice the token consumption; it's more but it seems buggy in the sense: it takes long time to "think", it does not generate the repsonse, it then tries again increasing the token burn.

Bug Description
feedback loops burn token fast, background jobs die without response wasting huge amount of tokens
