ok I learned a few things:
-
the documentation of used tokens in the cursor dashboard is rather fluid and may change after executing another (unrelated?) request. For an existing Git request that was already documented, the number of documented tokens used shot up to ~360k tokens.
-
I removed my rules, which shaved ~100k
-
I removed the context completly and just provided a path which reduced everything down to 33k
Request Id with the 33k example:
2c9a9498-a0dd-4373-b7b3-112cfe7a0c10
Why I initially saw no problem with my rules or context:
A few weeks ago, I had many requests with the same rules and far more context directly added to the context, doing heavy implementation workloads using fewer tokens.
all these numbers above and what removing my rules and some context shaved off still seem massive to me, including the completly naked 33k request.
ironically, the documented tokens for the 33k example shot up to 45k during writing this post:
