Claude Pro users report token usage climbing sharply after the latest update, echoing last week's Max-tier complaints
An r/ClaudeAI thread at 103 upvotes and 32 comments reports an exponential increase in token consumption on Claude Pro following the most recent update, from a user who says they were already following context-hygiene practices. The same day, r/OpenAI carried 'Astra, massive usage even on low?' at 51 upvotes. Both are self-reported with no instrumentation, so treat them as sentiment rather than measurement, but the timing lines up with Claude Code 2.1.260 adding prompt-cache miss causes to `/cost` and the status line, which is the tool that would actually settle whether this is real.
