Anthropic users report massive, unexpected token consumption

Users are reporting unexpectedly high token consumption when using Anthropic's Claude models, particularly with the "deep research" feature. One user was charged for 10 million tokens of Claude 3 Opus, an amount they claim they did not use and that exceeded their credits. Another user experienced rapid token usage, jumping from 36k to 867k tokens in under 30 seconds while using the deep research functionality, leading to session limits. AI

IMPACT Potential issues with billing and model performance could impact user trust and adoption of Anthropic's services.

RANK_REASON User reports of unexpected high token usage on Reddit, not an official announcement or release.
