Imagine you have no token limit. How would you orchestrate CC?
With all the hype of fable 5 I have the FOMO that I’m not utilising my tooling fully.
What I do:
- many custom skills
- memory management
- fan outs
- some parallel sessions
But I never burn absurd amounts of tokens and neither are my sessions running more than 15 minutes on average. I tried opus as well as the higher reasoning efforts. I found it a waste of time and tokens.
Maybe my scoping of tasks is too narrow? Whenever I tried giving it bigger and more ambiguous tasks it was lazy or took wrong directions.
I'm on the $200 plan (which technically gives $5000 of tokens if pushed to the limit all month)
I have a tough time recently pushing my limits on token usage. A month or two ago I was hitting limits much faster, but i think the AI race between Codex vs. CC has forced anthropic to be more generous on their limits
However, my sessions run long, even with Opus 4.8/fable (I mean they are more thorough...). For a decent feature build it could be a solid ~30 minutes. My code base in monolithic though and has about a years worth of LLM gen code on it, so it's definitely not a small project by any means.
