A user experienced their weekly token limit for Claude Max 20x subscriptions being exhausted prematurely. Upon investigation using a tool called Swarmery, which tracks Claude Code session data, it was discovered that a small number of very long sessions, exceeding 300,000 tokens each, were responsible for the majority of token consumption.
