Several options on how to burn that amount of money without being specifically looking to tokenmaxx

- Agents that spawn other agents

- Telling agents to go look at the entire codebase or at a lot of documents constantly

- MCP/API use with a lot of noise

- Loops where the agent is running unattended.

I do think it's not really responsible use and a loop where the agent is trying to fix CI for one hour for something that would take you five minutes (for example) is absurd. But people do that.

One of the new dynamics is a loop between a "code review" LLM and a "fix LLM". It's super annoying because the code review LLM often finds more bugs on a follow-up review that were there from the beginning, but at least I can loop both until check go green.
