What's Wrong?

Without any changes onto my Claude Code usage I've noticed high token usage since 1 week. I'm really disappointed than since saturday, june 29th I've already burned 67% or my weekly usage.
I was working with opus 4.8 but decreased to Sonnet 4.6 today in order to see what happen. I'm on Pro plan. Due to this, I have to reduce my usage.

What Should Happen?

I would've burned less token cause I didn't change my daily usage.
