What's Wrong?
When I prompt something, Claude uses more of the 5 hours consumption limits. While nothing differs from before. It seems like you guys have turned on a switch that fills up th consumption much faster.
Even when doing nothing the consumption bar progresses from 13 to 17 to 27%.
Now 90%....
What Should Happen?
it should stay the same
