Bug Description
claude is taking 20x the resources to complete tasks I've had it do many times before. It used 100% of prox5 resources on 2 tasks (identify the files touched in a previous prompt, it was about 10 files out of 80) and (run an editing script on 10 files - total of 20k words) that typically takes 5% of session resources and a few minutes to complete. Something is wrong with and I couldn't get any of my work done since the prompt didn't finish before hitting the limit. It's a huge hit on claude ROI when it blocks me for gettying any output.
