Claude Code's sub-agent loop consumes weekly usage in minutes

A user reported that the Claude Code tool, when integrated with a code-review plugin, caused an excessive number of sub-agents to be spawned. This led to a rapid depletion of weekly usage limits within 15 minutes for a simple code change. The issue appears to stem from the main model triggering the code-review plugin, which then recursively triggered sub-agents to also use the plugin, resulting in significant token and cost overruns.
