Opus 5.5 burns subscription faster?

A user on reddit.com reported that their token usage for Claude increased significantly after switching to Opus 5.5, despite Opus 5.5 being advertised as cheaper per token. Previously, they used 1-2 billion tokens weekly without issues, but with Opus 5.5, they hit the weekly cap at 300 million tokens. They questioned if subscriptions were cut or if their new usage pattern, involving many subagents, was the cause. The user requested others to share their Claude usage and token consumption due to conflicting opinions.
