How on Earth does one use 1.1B tokens in a week?

With cache reads and writes and a couple of long running session without /clear or /compact it can get there rather fast

last 7 days I've used ~4.8B tokens. most of that was during a 2 day span when codex was using one of my harnesses to iterate over a codebase to improve performance of some parts of it - fully automated.

By doing ALL your work in a single chat. The context window explodes.

I typically do one context per feature.

Can do that in a day...
