It hadn’t occurred to me this was a billing bug.

That would be heartening, if I wasn’t consuming tokens 10x as fast as expected, and they just had attribution bugs.

Do you have references to this being documented as the actual issue, or is this just speculation?

I want to support Anthropic, but with the Codex desktop app *so much better* than Anthropic’s combined with the old “5 back and forths with Opus and your quota is gone”, it’s hard to see going back

Yeah I think it's either a billing bug, or some sort of inbuilt background sub-agent loop gone wild inside Claude Code, if you have a look at recent issues on the Github relating to 'limits', 'usage', 'tokens' you'll see a lot of discussion about it: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=sort%3Aup...
