What's Wrong?

I found, that tokens disappears much faster than I did expect. I was always controlling the model selected with this interface

but, when i decided to click to 'switch model' i found, that in real the Fable is activated!

so tokens was used much faster. Seems, especially in case when Claude code executes some tool and waits for the result!

yes, I had experiment with Fable, but I didn't mention to use it, so definitely switched back!
I do use VS Code add-on for work (orange)
