I am, and I used up the entire 5 hour window in 8min using the highest thinking setting. It also ate up $15 of extra usage before I noticed.

I’ve done the same thing with opus multiple times with no issue. According to ccusage I racked up just shy of $100 of tokens using Fable.

It spun up subagents or workflows or whatever so obviously that contributed but “double opus” was not my experience. I’ve done the exact same prompt with opus on the highest setting and only once before (not even while using this prompt) hit my limits.

My prompt? I’m not a prompt wizard or anything but it was literally:

> Please review the uncommitted code in this repo for bugs/issues/code smells.

I use variations on that all the time with opus and never had issues. I figured it was a good one to kick the tires with Fable. Little did I know it would mean no more Claude Code for the next 4.5hrs (unless I wanted to pay) after this being the first time I had used CC that day (yesterday).

All in all, a pretty crappy first experience.

Try running this command: and see what it thinks you spent at API prices:

  uvx agentsview usage daily
Then edit the config file to add Fable pricing as described here: https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/agentsview-custom-model-p...

And run the command again. I get $126.89 for yesterday.
