Show HN: My Claude quota ran out in 10 minutes, so I made a tool to find out why
A developer created a tool to investigate why their Claude quota was depleted in 10 minutes. The tool revealed that 99% of their usage came from an automated process, not their direct interaction. Specifically, 1,553 short Claude Code sessions, totaling 9,022 requests with up to 51 concurrent sessions, were spawned by a tool in their website project. This high usage was attributed to each fresh session rebuilding its context from scratch, an expensive method for token consumption, compared to the developer's 93 manual requests.
