Just before I canceled my 20x Max sub I had a day where I had ~15% of my weekly I was trying to burn. I set it on ultracode and because I had set the max agents 32 for another project and forgot, the five research agents ended up spinning up a total of 26 subagents and burned through the remainder of my weekly in the span of 20 minutes before I noticed and shut it down.

“No, not like THAT!”

Claude did the same thing to me the other day. I ran out of my 5 hr limit, and it went into my $100 credit they had given me. Multiple parallel agents. It ate it in no time flat.

When I checked, all that credit was gone, I still wasn't into the next 5 hours, and all the agents had failed, returning nothing.

I didn't even get anything for burning all that credit. If I had paid for it, I'd be very, very pissed.

How can you burn through your weekly budget in 20 minutes? You'd hit your 5 hour budget way before that, right?
